8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBoth of my children have graduated from this school and I will miss it very much. Wonderful sense of community. The general music teacher is exceptionally strong and runs a steel band program that is one in a million. My children both enjoyed their years at Hatch and flourished. The oldest has been successful in middle school, the youngest is poised and ready. They both formed many excellent friendships that endure.Parent Review5y ago - Brunson Math & Sci Specialty Elementary School
