Hess is an amazing school! They are a great TEAM of educators, working together to teach, and enrich each students life. I know our test scores don't show it, but you can blame that on lack of parent involvement. I have 2 children enrolled, and have been apart of the school for 4 years now. No compl

But this school is wonderful the while staff work with each child and parent above and beyond. The principle and vice principal are at every event at the school even after school hours. The

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI'm my experience as an ex student, when I went to that school the teachers were very rude to students and parents. The teachers pick favorites and never listen to both students if something happens. During lunch they turn the lights out and if you speak while the lights are off, you stand against the wall in front of everyone during lunch. So no food if you speak. I had coughed once and I was made to stand against the wall, I didn't eat that day. Terrible staff and inclusion. If I could give this place 0 stars, I would.Other Review6mo ago - Black Oak School for the Deaf

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy children have been going to olg for 3 years. This year has been horrible! These kids continue to fight call each other names! And just this week my son was in the bathroom and a older student grabbed him by the shirt and threw him against the wall. The same day same kid told my 14 year daughter to "open her legs". The school decided to take his recess away! Really that is it! This child has been nothing put trouble all year not only with my children but several children. Another incident a child was in the bathroom stall using the bathroom and the same student and other kids were kicking the door open numerous times. What happened to no tolerance!! My children are not safe here.I do not recommend this school at all!!Parent Review4y ago - Highland Christian School
