Grissom Elementary School

The curriculum at this school is great but the way administration handles affairs needs a lot of work. It is a small school so I am sure that they don't have all of the necessary technology needed to run the business side of the school in a true professional manner. All in all I am very pleased with the curriculum.

It’s interesting to see a perfect 5-star review posted right as a former 8th grader expressed their obvious lackluster experience. A 17% math proficiency rate doesn't really line up with 'learning something new and exciting' every day; it feels more like a PR attempt to cover up the actual data and the experiences of students struggling with bullying and basic academics. I agree with the recent alum; the specifics about 'collective punishment' and the lack of high school prep ring much truer than a generic 5-star post. A school honestly can't be 'family-friendly' if the students' mental health is suffering to the point of unenrolling.

My daughter is in the 2nd grade and loves it. She has been at Hobby since Pre-K. At first I was very disappointed during the Pre-K year but my heart has changed after kinder. The teachers are awesome and really LOVE their kids. The new principle has implemented new rules that I have a problem with. Then again I accept the change for safety reasons. The new principle is really trying to better the school so the parents need to do their parts at home to better the kids at school. I've heard horror stories about the school and new principle but I've had nothing but success. My daughter is a straight A student and I expect a lot from her at 7 years of age. With the expectations of the teachers principle and myself for her she's doing great. I love it.

Wonderful school with traditional values that will bring the best out of our children- academically & socially. Quality education in the heart of Hiram Clark

The school itself is great but the school does LITTLE about bullying. They punish the children BEING bullied as opposed to children doing the BULLING. I understand bullys are everywhere and kids are kids but as a parent coming with receipts about the incident and still nothing from the other parents, I now how to go to extreme measures just to get a point across.
