Edgar A Hooks Elementary School

Starting with Principal McCarthy all the way down to K1, I have been very impressed with faculty's attention and advocacy for the children. Any issues I have had, have been immediately addressed and I feel I can bring any issue forward and will be satisfactorily met.The teachers are amazing in that the ensure the classroom atmosphere is warm and inviting, inclusive, and individualized according to the student's needs. They utilize a Fundations program from kindergarten on, that is very impressive in helping the kids to read. I am happy about the stamina of the 2nd grade teachers this year because they have made a concerted effort to arrange field trips for the kids--a goal of "one per month[!]" I would recommend this school because they provide ample physical education (3x per week), art, music, and theater. The student body is diverse and the school emphasizes community, tolerance, and respect.My only complaint would be that they do not go through the 8th grade. Perhaps something can be done about that... :)

Are there still dress codes like the codes in 1960? I'm trying to compare The Bradley to schools in other States.

This is a beautiful school, the teachers are great.My son started when he was 3 and I can't complain about anything, He loves going to school every single day. I wish all Chelsea schools where managed the same way. My son is ready for firts grade and I can see how much he has learned over the las 3 years.
