Benito Middle School

We have been at HGE for a little over a year, our kid is in 3rd grade now. We absolutely love the teachers we had thus far and the education and caring our kid is receiving. The principal, assistant principal, and other staff at the school are great too. The PTA is very involved, and the school has great activities during class and after hours. I recommend to anyone to join HGE!

This is our first year and my child is in kindergarten. We moved from a State where the only option was private school and they expected perfection from babies. That being said my child has excelled here. She is academically doing well and has finally found her place. For my child the environment and rewards system they use for behavior has been wonderful. They also seem to understand that kids will be kids but take the right things seriously. Everyone on staff I have encountered has been very pleasant and seem to really like being there. PTA also seems very involved and I would almost equate them to what I have seen in private settings which says something. We have many years to go but hopefully my child will continue to grow at this school.

I have my son he’s come from a magnet school gifted and brilliant student i selected this school because a gifted program. Before I don’t look for reviews now I see it’s not happen only with me. Verry stressful atmosphere for your kids. Never put positive concerns on your kids only behaviors my goodness the principal Dalila such a negative energy. Her origine is Cuba I can understand why now is like communism system at the school. My son is verry traumatized. I can’t wait to remove him from the school.

They have support my child so much even thought my son has Special needs, he continues progressing, the all staff is good. The counselors, the front desk, Ms. Macdonald and Ms. Offers amazing.

Students at this school are not safe. Teachers and administrators put their hands on children and verbally abuse them. When mistreatment is reported, administrators do nothing because they protect the teachers instead of the students.If you care about your child’s mental health, do not send your child to this school. I don’t care how many fake or made-up reviews they post or how often they brag about being an “A” school. This is one of the worst public schools my child has ever attended.It’s probably also why they removed the Google reviews section so parents can’t see what’s really going on here.

I feel that this school pushes gender identity to a unhealthy point and I find it not right for very young children

We enrolled our daughter December 2018 through March 2020. We were in the midst of the pandemic and decided to pull our daughter out but continued to pay tuition to keep her spot. After a few months we stopped paying the tuition and kept our daughter home until September 2021 with a nanny. September 2021 we enrolled her back into Primrose Crosscreek and it was very evident that the drop off , pick up system changed. What was more evident was the once courteous, kind and responsive directors we once knew changed as well. It was obvious that they stopped caring about our child. After many calls and an in person conversation with the director our concerns were ignored. Most recently we spoke to the director Mrs. Ellis and requested to withdraw our daughter for 3 weeks. Mrs. Ellis assured us and confirmed that our daughter would be able to rejoin her class on May 31, 2022 so she can finish up her last year here. This week we received an email stating there is no space for our daughter. We called her to question her email and reminded her of her verbal confirmation that she would have a space on 5/31/22. She acknowledged that she told us yes she’ll have her space. But then says her email stating there’s a wait list stands. Very contradictory and very telling of the directors lack of integrity and character that their word don’t stand. Admittedly we have not been happy with this school but was willing to keep our daughter here for her last year as she’s made friends.
