This school does not care about their students. They let the kids who bully get away with anything and if a good student misses a day of school because they are sick they are punished. If you are in this area I recommend trying to get your child into Dore.
Posted by a parent on 3/6/2020Strong focus on academic performance and structure. Good foundations for a successful future, as long as carried through at home
Posted by a community member on 12/11/2016Fantastic School. Teachers care and in contact by phone or by email within the day. Principal and Vice Principal have an open door policies. academics are over the top and climbing. The students get out what they put in. Don't expect the teachers to raise your children. PARENT involvement is highly
Posted by a parent on 5/30/2012I graduated from Hale. The school is Okay, although I believe that they should start paying attention in what the students say about their teachers being Racist. It as well did not get me prepared for my freshman year they goal for the students are way too low. The staff should also focus more about

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBest school in the area hands down. I see previous old reviews of principal not being good, well this current principal is great, nothing like the old reviews. Teachers are for the most part great and comunicate with parents effectively. Only had one person give issues but after addressed to the principal have had no further issues. More is being offered at the school regarding activities and early start to doors being open earlier. Overall great school with great people especially for a city school. Overall great staff at this school.Parent Review8mo ago - Grimes Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWent to school there. terrible principal she was and still is rude and condescending she definitely needs to be fired, told my family that my IEP and 504 was fake and that i didn’t need one let alone never used it when i got one (which schools are legally required to follow an IEP) had a therapist and psychiatrist come in to tell them that i definitely needed certain requirements and still never cared, a few rude teachers and translators that were there, had one teacher tell my mother that my family needed counseling and i was faking everything. the way they would talk to students should be talked about more. will never send my kids here and will always advocate how terrible this school really is.Other Review1y ago - Blair Early Childhood Center
