Read what parents are saying about Helen A Hansen Elementary SchoolEverything about this school is amazing. If you get the opportunity to enroll your children, don't pass it up. I regret ever moving away from this school district. Doing everything I can to go back! Just be warned, no other school will ever amount to it lol
Posted by a parent on 5/3/2021This school is fantastic. The teachers work very hard to met children at their level and challenge them to achieve more. I can not say enough good about this school.
Posted by a parent on 8/8/2020This is a dream school! My children are cared for and challenged in a supportive environment. They integrate technology and utilize a process to determine which children need remedial time and which need enrichment in all areas.
Posted by a parent on 3/11/2015We recently moved into the district from a very different area, and from a top-quality school. I was somewhat concerned about the school when we arrived, but we have been very impressed with the quality of education here. Most of the teachers are wonderful, creative and progressive in their approach to teaching, the principal is friendly and approachable, but most impressive to us have been the outstanding extracurricular opportunities available. 5th and 6th grade band and orchestra, choirs on several levels, really an amazing quality music program that is better than many middle schools we have seen. PE here is also impressive--lots of interesting and fun changes, and especially the iDance program made my kids more excited than ever to get to school each day. Well done, Hansen Elementary!
Posted by a parent on 4/19/2013My son is going to this school and is mildly autistic, they are doing a wonderful job with him and he has improved to the point of not being in the resourse room much this year.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMr. Ortman is a stellar principal. He has been very hands on for the past three years my son has attended. Last year, he was at drop off nearly every day. He knew all the students names and would give high-fives as they got to school. It feels nice knowing that the principal gets to know the students and they respect and love him. I think every grade has a "meh" teacher, which my son landed this year. We have many close friends who would agree. However, none of the teachers are bad teachers, just not as stellar as others. The front office is usually quite professional and helpful. There is no homework from K-2nd grade, which is awesome. I feel the teachers just want the kids to focus on learning in class and being kids outside of class. I couldn't agree more. There are after school reading groups for those who need help. (Didn't have to use those, so I can't speak to the helpfulness firsthand, but our friends spoke highly of it). We had a friend whose daughter was not thriving in a certain teacher's class environment. This mother spoke with the principal (albeit too late in the year) and was assured her daughter could switch classrooms without pressure or pushback. Administration listens, teachers are great. I will say my son HATES music. He can see fake from a mile away and does not care for the music teacher, who they see every 5 days. I feel like the music teacher either chose the wrong profession or he needs to be working with a different age group altogether. That is my only complaint!Parent Review1y ago - Lincoln Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMt nieces go to school there and they are getting a great education. The teachers really care about each individual student and I love teh fact that if they are sick and their mom forgets to call the school, the school calls home to make sure all is ok. This school is way above the rest in my opinion. And they truly believe each child is equal to all of the others so they do not pick favorites or least favorites. My nieces want to be teachers because of North Cedar Elementary School.Other Review14y ago - Southdale Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son was welcomed to Southdale for 5th grade. His teacher, Ms. Sellers was above and beyond in her attention to my son. I was also welcomed warmly. All my questions and concerns were answered, no problem. E mail and texts are an extremely important add on for reminding me of all the wonderful activities, school closures, and early dismissal. I'm excited to have my son there this year for 6th grade. Thank you Mr. Strubb, school principal for a lovely experience.Parent Review2y ago - St Patrick School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSt. Pats community is like none other! I am confident my children are also receiving the best education, social, and emotional support. Faith based learning is evident in the students behavior and every day lives. Would recommend!Parent Review3y ago - Bess Streeter Aldrich Elementary
