My kid went to hand during her 6th grade year (2020-21) she had an amazing experience and she got along with everyone. She always came home with good grades. The school provides good academic skills that truly work. After we moved I realized there not many schools that have the same standards as han
Posted by a parent on 7/29/2022I have had 3 kids go to Hand and it’s been a great experience despite the difficulties of the past 2 years. My son has made principal honor roll twice this year. The teachers communicate if you have questions or concerns. There is so much going on in the word but Hand MS does their best to keep us u
Posted by a parent on 3/15/2022The administration has really taken this once great school off a cliff. The new Principal has zero clue how to properly hire & manage staff. She sits in her office, and is all but inaccessible, both to teachers, and parents. Since school has restarted after COVID, she is rarely seen. Teachers make t
Posted by a parent on 4/25/2021School riddled with problems. Used to be a great school. High turnover of staff. Environment has an overall feeling of intimidation. We left for private school.
Posted by a parent on 3/18/2021The neighborhood is breathtaking and the school building and campus is beautiful and I love that they play classical music in the halls before class starts. Hand Middle has good teachers... unfortunately the students aren't disciplined enough and the class room environment isn't conducive to a good

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have 2 children in Brennen and have been there through 2 different principals. The teachers, staff, administration, etc are all exceptional. One of my children has had 2 brain surgeries while attending and learning and support has been fantastic. From getting IEP’s and learning disabilities to the Advanced Academic placement classes, both of my children are thriving. My brother (their uncle) passed way and the counselors and teachers added another layer of support emotionally for their and my loss. I can’t recommend this school more…it is the best Elementary School in the district, state, country and I love and thank them all!!!This is the greatest school ever, send your children here!Parent Review9mo ago - A.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageACM is a sweet little community school. The small class sizes are a huge bonus. The community is very close knit and you will know all the kid's names. The teachers are fabulous. It's such a hidden gem of a school!Parent Review11mo ago - South Kilbourne Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son entered kindergarten at St. Peter’s this year, and he loves it so much, he cries if I pick him up too early because he loves it and his friends! They truly tailor the teaching to meet each child where they are. They also have a good balance of using the state of the art technology, while they also work with paper, pencils, scissors, and glue. It’s a supportive environment for the children and families. I have also appreciated their faith formation. I highly recommend this school!Parent Review7mo ago - St Joseph School
