Hamilton Ridge Elementary School

I’m honestly amazed by this school, my kids are currently here and all teachers and staff very nice and supportive, they succeed my expectations. I am very grateful and will miss them all as my children as well!

Our son was enrolled in the class of a last minute hire teacher who constantly makes it clear she is overwhelmed.To make matters worse our son has come home multiple times with injuries from having sand thrown in his face and has even been picked up bleeding from the mouth. When we inquired, it took three days to get a response and the teachers basically denied anything happened. A week later at conferences the teacher states “he was punched in the mouth, you didn’t know?” When asked if it should have been reported she stated “yes, but I went home early that day because my live-in boyfriend got me sick”.She claimed there’s an “out of control” boy in the class and they are not sure what to do with him.On top of that she was so overwhelmed that she couldn’t even have the take home paperwork ready at conferences even with a full two days for MEA.It seems like they are understaffed and unprepared to properly take care of your children.I did speak with the principal who was apologetic, and offered to refund the money for the 3 days left this month, but the damage had already been done.

As parents we have loved watching our children thrive academically and spiritually every year. We appreciate the Christian approach to education and encouraging godly behavior. The small classroom sizes allowing more one on one attention and close-knit families make for a welcoming learning and social environment.
