Hopewell Middle School

Front office staff; one lady in particular who shall remain unnamed but runs the front desk is extremely rude towards me on different occasions. This is unacceptable and when I took it up with who I believe to be the assistant principal she was very dismissive to my plea. All I ask for is for staff to be respectful and unassuming, here that is not the case. Speaking up now since my child will NOT be returning to this school.

I’ve been disappointed with the recent changes at DFT. The new principal, Lily, appears oblivious to the established culture of the school and the input of veteran teachers. Decisions feel arbitrary, and there is a sense that parent voices are being ignored. The school’s direction feels headed the wrong way, and the lack of receptiveness from the front office makes it difficult to feel confident in the current leadership. Hopefully a change will be made soon for the sake of the students. I'm still giving the school good rating because there really are some great teachers there. It's the admin that could use a lot of improvement

My 3 children attend Caldwell. My oldest is currently in 5th grade and has been at CHE since Kindergarten. My youngest attending is in Pre-K. This year has definitely been different but has not changed my children's learning. The teachers do their best and it shows through my kids. They love to attend school and are looking forward to attending again next year. The teachers communicate well through email. The office staff if very helpful when needed.

My two children, ages 6 and 7, just finished their 1st year in the Dual Language program at Union Hill. I think it is an excellent program. The progress that each of them has made over the last 9 months is astounding. We moved here last year from Miami and their Spanish is much better now than it was in their previous school. The teachers are knowledgeable and flexible and work very well with both parents and students.

My son has been attending this school for 2 years now and loves it. He has been doing very well in school. The teachers are very helpful and responsive. They have a really great program here and I would recommend it to any parent looking for a good elementary school.

Classroom management exceeds expectations. Kids are engaged, excited, and challenged. Teachers support learners of all levels and work hard to make lessons engaging and inclusive of other subjects.

I don't want my child to be at a school where the current principal is an administrator.
