Hoover Elementary School

We were excited to send our son to Hoover, in the autism program. But that excitement quickly faxed when he began coming home with bruises and finger print marks from being grabbed and treated roughly. I walked up to the classroom and heard my son being yelled at more than once. My child is non verbal so he cannot tell me what goes on. Also the teacher was unwilling to communicate with me regarding issues with my son, his school work, or anything. I tried to give them a chance and spoke to them about my concerns but ultimately pulled my son due to really bad bruising and scratch marks that he came home with and no explanation from the teacher. I really did have a lot of respect for the principal, I think she wanted to work on the issues and I believe her to be a good principal. However, the teacher seemed to dislike my child and so we have moved our child to another school.

I have had only positive interactions with the staff.

My grandson is in Mr. Foremans class and he is an amazing teacher! We fought to keep him this year and that was the best thing TPS could have done!! He has taught my grandson all the things a kindergartners should know then some! I am praying my younger grandson is in his class next year!!!

Excellent faculty! Mrs. Simpson is a great principal, much better than previous one(s). I have been affiliated with Hoover for almost 25 years. The volunteers there are wonderful, and work with the kids.

I love this school my grandson was really below average in his academic 's when he came to this school. However the teachers & mentors & counselor are awesome! They worked so hard with my grandson and my grandson worked hard as well and I'm so proud to say he is at the top of his class. They have great teacher's that actually care about the students! Thank you to everyone at hoover for making a difference in my grandson's education.
