Nathan Hale Elementary School

I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. The most of the teachers don’t care about bullying, or when people are getting made fun of right in front of them. I’ve noticed that teachers will let the kid get bullied not move the bully’s or try to tell them to stop they will usually just let it happen and report it later.In your a person of color and are not Hispanic I couldn’t not recommend this more. If your child is a person of color that’s not Hispanic I beg you don’t send them here they will get bullied horribly. This school mostly the kids aren’t told why things my using stereotypes and slurs are wrong so they just use them as jokes. They think it’s funny to yell racial slurs in the middle of the class. So I’m begging you don’t send your kids here.

Addams is a great school that has been going through a lot of changes. They have great students and most teachers who truly care for them. My child specifically has grown to love school and in their own confidence! I would recommend this school to any one looking for a school to call home.

I wished there were more extracurricular activities and events that foster parent involvement. However, my children are excited and look forward to going to class, every day and that speaks volumes. The academic progress my children make yearly is 100% the result of the arduous work of their teachers. The administration has an open door policy and is willing to work with parents as quickly as an issue arises. The bullying is addressed internally and immediately. I trust my children are safe and treated fairly at this school. I would recommend this school over all the other neighboring schools.

This school does not know how to effectively communicate. The principal does not know how to delegate, she sweeps problems under the rug and tells you want you want to hear. There is bullying at the school and nothing gets done about it. Nothing gets enforced at the school. Stay away from this school.

My daughter has been in the school for 6 years and I myself are an alumni of St John. The school is nothing like it was when I attended it. Their standards have gone down hill and they cater to the less fortunate students instead of the school as a whole. They also lack steady structure, one minute they enforce polices and the next they do not. I've heard it from many parents that the homework is also very overwhelming, my child is up to 10pm every night completing her work.
