Hopewell Elementary

Great, way better than the schools I experienced growing up. I'm proud that my kid goes to yates and I have only had positive experiences so far. They have welcomed my child with love and now my child loves school while I always hated school.

Kindergarten is meant to be a time of excitement and wonder. My child was having a wonderful experience at this school- he loves his class and teachers- until we moved out of zone. Instead of allowing him to finish the last few remaining weeks of school with his friends, the administration decided to kick him out and make him transfer to a new school unless we paid $1,675 tuition for a PUBLIC school. They could have made a different choice, because my other child went to an elementary school she wasn't zoned for all 5 years and they NEVER once asked for a tuition or said she wasn't welcome there. It is very disheartening to know that they do not put students here first even though they claim to. I was also blatantly lied to by the lady that runs the office (an incredibly rude woman) who told me the principal sent me a message about this with stupilations when I did not get any messages from her at all. Now my son has to adjust to a new school and learn all new names with 37 actual days of school left. Times are already hard enough, so when those who are supposed to support and care for our kids make it even harder, it's really sad. They do have amazing teachers, and I have nothing but great things to say about his learning experience before it was DISRUPTED.
