Hay Branch Elementary School

My grandkids attended here 2022-2024, this is the worst experience we’ve ever had to endure. Their disciplinary actions are poor, kids can bully other students constantly without getting appropriate discipline. They get talked to and given another chance while the bullying continued. I was so stressed out over my grandkids being bullied on the bus every single day last year by the same 2 people. The bus staff never wrote them up and I had to constantly contact one of the VP. She was the only one who would do the most to get it under control. She rode the bus and followed up with a reprimand if needed. There was one 2nd grade teacher that talked down to the students, telling they shouldn’t be in that grade level and that she doubt if they would finish high school. I had to address this several times. 23-24 school year was the worst. I pray that this school with the new Administration is much better for the sake of all children. I read that parent pick up has changed and that’s a positive direction. It was not safe and horrible before. Here’s to a great school year at HHES.

This is an awesome school. With beautiful students and excellent teachers.

I have two special needs kids and Brookhaven has gone above and beyond to ensure their IEP and overall needs are being met. The office staff and teachers are super friendly and supportive. I find that they always make the time to listen to your suggestions or concerns. I love seeing the staff and teachers interact with the kids as most of them know them well. Being a volunteer at the school, I am able to see first hand the love the teachers have for their profession. I would definitely recommend this school to other parents.

As the Principal of St. Joseph Catholic Academy, I proudly rate our campus 4 out of 5 stars, as we continuously strive for improvement each day. Although this is my first year as principal, I bring 24 years of experience in education. Our dedicated staff genuinely cares about the growth of our students, and we are fortunate to have supportive parents who love to collaborate with us.I host monthly "Coffee with the Principal" sessions to connect with our community, share updates, and gather feedback. We are working hard to become a 5-star school, and I am confident we will reach that goal together.
