Nathaniel Hawthorne Elementary School

The place is horrible as far access to your student and the classroom. Both the smaller and up to 6 grade buildings are DILAPIDATED. The church on pleasant is EXTREMELY in need of REBUILD while the school on Bohannon is riddled in mold mildew and an unstable structure. The bathrooms always back up according to my kids and the TAs are EXTREMELY RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL . DISRESPECTFUL AND ARE YELLING AT THEM DURING BREAKFAST and no talking at lunch. The classrooms flood. The ceiling caved in on students. It's just not acceptable and the bullying is ignored . Administration is rude the previous attendance women W AS JUST..... UNACCEPTABLE. And no the teachers are not all STATE CERTIFIED.

Sylvia Mendez is more than just a school, it's a community, a family, and a place where hearts and minds grow together. Every day I walk onto this campus, I’m reminded of how lucky I am to be part of something so special.Our students are truly the heart of it all. They bring curiosity, creativity, and joy into every classroom. Their resilience and passion inspire me daily, and watching them grow academically, socially, and emotionally is a privilege I never take for granted.I am incredibly fortunate to work alongside a team of dedicated, compassionate, and talented co-teachers. There’s a spirit of collaboration and genuine support here that makes even the hardest days feel manageable and the great days feel unforgettable.Our administration, Mrs. Hernandez and Mr. Bright, leads with vision and heart. They listen, uplift, and consistently advocate for what’s best for our students and staff. Their leadership fosters a culture where every voice matters and every success is celebrated.Sylvia Mendez isn’t just where I work, it’s where I’ve found purpose, connection, and joy. I’m so proud to be part of this amazing school community.

Bringing my grandchildren to this school is the best decision i have made for them academically. Not only do the teachers care about their education, but they are teaching them life situations as well. My grandson has ADD and Autism, but has made tremendous progress while under the care of his teachers. I encourage anyone whose

There staff is very nice and supportive of the parents and students
