Hans Christian Andersen Elementary School

Teachers and staff are very attentive to students and understand their individual needs. Different strategies are implemented to engage students and parents.

This school does not provide basic communication with parents. Every flyer that went home was missing crucial information and needed clarification. Teacher never responded to emails. Information about school events went out after the event had already started. I never knew what my child was doing in school so I had no way of supporting the curriculum at home. Every teacher and admin i spoke to always seemed like they were miserable. No smiles, no one was friendly. I had a huge issue one morning in the parking lot when the vice principal broke into my car in an attempt to get my child out. I had no idea who she was at the time because we were new to the school. I almost called the police. Then the principal came over, who never saw what happened, then tried to gaslight me saying how I was yelling at the vice principal. I wasn't. I called the district multiple times to report them and the district never returned my calls.I've heard multiple stories from other parents having an awful time with the people in this school. Some wanted to switch schools and the office was trying to stop them because they'd lose funding. They dont care about the kids.We switched schools after one year because it was so bad.This whole school and everyone in it, minus the kids, can fall into a sinkhole.

My daughter went to rockledge christian school for kindergaden last year. She loved every minute of it. The have wonderful teachers and I love the fact that they have small classes. She have learned how to read, write, do spanish, math, and her sign language alphabets. I couldnt have been more proud of her and the school for all that they have done. This is a wonderful school and I plan on sending her back for 1st grade.

My granddaughters are an absolute joy to watch as they learn. My second grader started writing cursive so quickly. The five year old is doing math, though simple, she is so anxious to show off at our house. Her sister has so much to do with this, through encouragement. These girls have come so far with their learning at this school. Every teacher has a very important role in my granddaughters education. I am so thankful for Trinity Lutheran.

The principal will lie, the cliques are real and the education is not what it should be. They can’t handle special education, don’t consider going unless you are the right fit for the school- your kid has zero issues, doesn’t mind being bullied, or is the bully, you don’t ask too many questions and expect to never hear from the principal in writing about anything. The middle schools inability to keep teachers is awful. There’s no science fair, there’s very poor sports opportunities, and the music program can’t keep a director either. This school is basically a roller coaster.
