Read what parents are saying about J M Hannum Elementary SchoolThis school is great for my son with adhd. His special education teacher is the best. They really look out for my son. We are black too and there is a good mixture of all races at this school so no problems with that.
Posted by a parent on 4/4/202110/10. I am so glad we lucked into this school. We weren't originally looking in this neighborhood, but in the next one over, when we first started our house search. As the years go by and my children go through the grades at Hannum and now at OLHMS as well, I am so happy we ended up here and not in that other area.
Posted by a parent on 8/23/2020Hannum is a great school. The school involves the parents in all the events whether it be in academics or school functions. The Principal, Teachers and staff are amazing. It's a small school so everyone knows everyone, the kindergartens have no problem interacting with the older kids. It amazes me how much these kids are learning day to day. My daughter has learned so much and not only that but the teachers give her confidence to stand up and speak in a crowd, she's only 7. It's also a very safe school. The current rating of 4 out of 10 gives this school no justice. In my opinion it's a 10!
Posted by a community member on 1/8/2016My son went to Hannum for Kintergarden, and honestly, the school rating does not reflect how amazing this school is. They have Kindergartners reading and writing paragraphs and solving simple algebra problems by the end of the year. Teachers, staff, and the principal are all WONDERFUL to work with. Also, I have lived in the area for many years. It's a safe, family centered, nurturing environment.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs soon as you enter the premises, you will immediately be embraced by a pleasant and friendly environment created by the kind and attentive receptionists at the front desk. This year's experience has presented a slight variation in multiple positive aspects. Nurse Linda exhibits remarkable patience and openness towards all individuals. It seems as though my child deliberately seeks her assistance whenever she comes across minor discomfort or stress during the day, as she offers a comforting presence to that of a caring nurse. Mrs. Garcia embodies the qualities of a superwoman through her commendable devotion to the academic success of her students. My child holds great admiration for her and eagerly looks forward to attending her class each day! I consider it a blessing that my younger child had the opportunity to have Mrs. Sheehan as her prek teacher this year. Mrs. Sheehan goes above and beyond for her students, prioritizing their needs. I asked my child what she adores most about Mrs. Sheehan, she replied, "I love that she makes me feel safe and is is really really nice to me“ Because of the outstanding faculty and staff, my children wake up with excitement for school every day which makes the day run smoothly for me! Principal Amra has proven to be a wonderful addition to Sward Elementary!The changes implemented under Principal Amra's leadership have brought about improvement and a more contemporary approach. Principal Amra can always be found actively involved within the school premises. She tirelessly dashes from one classroom to another, wearing a beautiful smile on her face. Her attentiveness and focus on each student's details is remarkable. Principal Amra exudes kindness, compassion, and true commitment to the prosperity and well-being of the students. Under her guidance, the overall ambiance of the school has significantly improved. Students feel valued, supported, and a sense of belonging to a united community. Principal Amra has created an encouraging and nurturing environment where everyone's voices are heard and respected. Her unwavering passion for education can be observed through her interactions with both the staff and students. Sward Elementary is fortunate to have such an exceptional figure leading them!Parent Review2mo ago - Lawn Manor School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageExcellent school. I was hesitant to enroll my daughter here because she had a 504 plan at the local public school, but the teachers and staff were able to provide a more than suitable learning environment for her and she has excelled in every subject. Making the switch was the best decision!!Parent Review2y ago - St Linus Elementary School
