As a freshman at Service High this year, I went to Hanshew for all of middle school and it was terrible. I’m my 7th grade year there were fights everyday and staff did nothing to prevent it. I loved my old choir teacher and 7th grade math and that’s it. Education there is trash and plenty teachers w
Posted by a community member on 5/11/2025Hanshew Middle School is an incredible school with a friendly atmosphere that makes every student feel valued and respected, creating a sense of belonging from day one. Teachers at Hanshew go above and beyond to genuinely care for their students, not only focusing on academic success but also priori
Posted by a parent on 1/8/2025Hanshew has a warm and welcoming environment. Teachers care about their students, administration takes a strong stance on safety. Fights are not as frequent as posted, drugs are not as rampant as posted, all schools are struggling to control these issues in school. Hanshew provides a rigorous educat
Posted by a parent on 12/20/2024Had 3 children go through Hanshew, last being four years ago. Fourth child started 7th grade this year and switched schools at winter break due to frequent fights, widespread vaping, bullying, threats of violence including bringing guns to school, and a poor learning environment where students are n
Posted by a parent on 4/30/2024Being a part time student here is terrifying. There are fights all the time and there is a CONSTANT threat of drugs. Many of the kids here are bullied and some have limbs broken and other horrific atrocities. I have barely learned anything from this school and in one of my classes half the kids fail

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageFantastic school with amazing staff. Students are well supported and feel special thanks to the staff. Teachers like being at this school and want to stay here. An active PTA raises a lot of money that is then invested in student success and in making the schools fun community. Staff provide many after school activities like maker’s space (crafts/STEM), art competitions, science fair, battle of the books, night at the museum (history projects) and sports (basketball, football, track, cross country, etc.). The French Immersion program and IGNITE (gifted class) offer extra learning opportunities above a typical neighborhood class instruction.Parent Review1y ago - Ocean View Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe toured this school in February during a kindergarten event and the principal showed us around. It's a nice school and seemed well cared for. The principal was very nice and answered all of our questions and concerns. Every teacher or staff member that I have interacted with have been kind and helpful.My daughter is going to kindergarten and her teacher Mrs. Eikenbary and TA Mrs. S. are amazing. My daughter loves seeing her teachers everyday and they care about their students. Even with classes being online so far they have taken the time to help my daughter whenever she needs it. We also love that we can still get library books every week!Parent Review5y ago - Bowman Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe moved schools this year do to our move. Huge regret. The office staff at Bowman is rude and unprofessional, that is not a way of greeting a parent or a student especially being new to the school.Will update this review if things improve down the road, as of now definitely do not recommend this schoolParent Review8mo ago
