Hyde Park High School

Caraway is a hidden gem tucked away in the area. The other schools in the area have over double the students. You can not put a price on smaller class sizes and the environment of everyone knowing everyone. Caraway is a small and nurturing school. Academics are great but not too much pressure so the kids can still be kids (an issue friends from neighboring schools are having). They have chickens and goats that the kids help take care of. I cannot recommend enough.

Amazing school, everything to the tea! Except one teacher in special education always having some commentary that's negative , negative, negative!!! Heard her multiple occasions on pick up talking to the special education students in a impolite manner. I mean kids are kids but what's the reason? Also when communicating with other staff I've heard the absolute worst. If your teaching in special education in general aren't you supposed to be positive and uplifting to these students and parents? Not being judgemental ..... The teacher is a older Caucasian women with glasses. Judging by her attitude i doubt it's hard to identify her.

I honestly expected so much better from this school. They don’t even have crossing guards every day only on certain days which makes it unsafe for our kids to walk to and from school. It feels like the staff doesn’t truly care about the children’s education or well-being. As a parent, I’ve had to constantly stay on them just to make sure my child is getting the attention and support he deserves.Communication is absolutely terrible. I’ve waited days just to get a simple call back, and right now I’m still waiting to hear from the front office about whether my son left any of his personal items behind. It’s like no one really knows what’s going on or wants to take responsibility.What’s even more upsetting is that it truly feels like if you’re not of Hispanic background, your child won’t get the same level of attention or care. That’s heartbreaking and unfair. Every child should be treated equally and made to feel seen, valued, and supported not ignored unless a parent constantly speaks up.I’m extremely disappointed and wouldn’t recommend this school to any parent who wants consistent communication, fairness, and a safe, caring environment for their child.

in 3 days the school has made us feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. I chose this school as it was well rated and I was seeking structure from an honest school l
