We have had a very positive experience with Hazel S. Pattison Elementary. The school provides a welcoming, safe, and supportive environment for students. The teachers and staff show care, patience, and dedication, and they make families feel included and informed.As parents, we truly appreciate the way the school supports not only academic learning but also the personal growth, confidence, and emotional well-being of the children. Our daughter has felt happy, motivated, and cared for at this school.We are very grateful for the teachers, administration, and staff at Pattison Elementary. It is a school that reflects kindness, commitment, and a genuine interest in helping children succeed.

This school is great ..to a degree. My son received sad face notes everyday if the teacher had a Problem based on academic and behavior in PRE K. They don’t want to bother if your kidis not equipped to sit, listen and conform . My son has moved to Nottingham best school in the county, no reports, no issues.

My son has been attending this school for three years, starting in the bilingual Pre-K program. The school and teachers are excellent—well-organized and truly dedicated to helping him grow and develop his skills. Each year, they host events that bring parents together to build relationships and foster a strong sense of community. Communication with the school is easy; they use online tools and email to keep parents informed about key milestones and any additional support needed.

This school offers so much to typical children and their families—but for students with special needs, it feels like they’re left on the outside looking in. There’s no real inclusion, no feeling of belonging.

My son was at Exley for 2 and a half years! We have had the best experience. He has level 2 autism and we felt so lucky to have the kindest teachers and staff who truly accommodated to his support needs. When they say inclusion they really mean it. For any special education needs parent, I know how daunting it is. But you can rest assured that at Exley your child will be safe, so happy and is going to thrive.
