Jeanette Hayes Elementary School

My daughter experienced such trauma at this school, years later we are still recovering. Her first grade teacher was screaming at her regularly. Another parent witnessed this and informed me. When I approached the school I was fed lines from a book and they basically refused to do anything about it. I pulled her from this school and she flourished at her new school. The teacher in question left the school the next year.

THIS SCHOOL SUCKS THE ADMINS AT THIS SCHOOL SHOULD BE FIRED BECAUSE OF THEIR LACK OF RESPONSIBILTY AND SUPPORT THE ADMINS GAVE MY KID A CHROMEBOOK AND I THOUGHT THEY ADDED A COMPUTER LAB IN THE SCHOOL AND MY KID CAN LEARN CODING BUT DURING THE DAY 10 MINUTES AFTER MY KID CAME HOME I HEARD CRACKING SOUNDS IN MY BEDROOM AND THEN I HEARD A BIG BANG SO I RUSHED TO GO TO MY BEDROOM TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED AND THEN I SEE THE CHROMEBOOK IT HAD EXPLODED SO I COMPLAINED TO TECH SUPPORT BUT THEY SAID THATMY GMAIL ACCOUNT DID NOT HAVE MY NAME IN IT WOW.AND I CAME TO VISIT ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL I FIRST LOOKED IN THE 5th GRADE HALLWAY AND IT WAS HORRIBLE I COULD HEAR A TEACHER YELLING ALL THE WAY AT THE END OF THE HALLWAY AND IF I HEAR STUFF LIKE THAT I KNOW THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG AND THE TEACHERS SOME TEACHERS IN THIS SCHOOL SHOULD BE FIRED BUT ARE BEING REWARDED DRINKS AND SNACKS FOR "being a good teachers" AND Creativity IS SOMETHING THAT THEY SHOULD TEACH BECAUSE IN THEIR FUTURE LIVES THEY WILL NEED TO CREATE SOMETHING ORGINAL BUT THIS SCHOOL DOES NOT DO THAT WHICH MADE MY KID DUMBER i would not go to this school it was a awful experience so thats all i got to say

As a first time mom of a kindergarten student the teachers are not nice at all it’s passive energy.. there is a major lack of communication of incidents happen with student wether bullying, bad behavior, or accidents/ injuries. Teachers are not welcoming what so ever it makes you wonder what’s going on behind closed doors.

Incredibly weak STEM curriculum. Young children are natural mathematicians and scientists and yet the kindergarten curriculum offers very little math/science and what is offered is completely unchallenging. All of the focus is on reading/writing so that the children will be ready for testing. If you’re looking for a school that is all about testing- this is your place. If you’re looking for education, prepare for disappointment.

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.

My daughter was very shy and had not been around kids very much when she started. By the end of her first year, she was the star of the show. They helped her bloom and learn in so many different ways. You may think it is small (compared to others), but they treat your child as if she/he were their family!
