Linda Herrington Elementary School

I am writing this review with heavy disappointment. Our daughter has attended this school since first grade, and we have witnessed a stark decline in the school's culture, safety, and leadership quality over the past two years, particularly following the change in administration.The atmosphere at this school has shifted toward a environment that feels permissive of aggressive behavior. Throughout the year, there has been a recurring issue of boys physically harassing and slapping girls. Despite this being an ongoing problem, the response from the school has been inadequate.Most recently, our daughter was physically slapped by another student. We were never contacted by the school. There was no incident report, no phone call, and no follow-up. When we brought this to the principal’s attention, it was clear that they were completely unaware of the incident, demonstrating a fundamental failure in reporting protocols and child safety oversight.When policies fail to protect students and incidents are ignored or swept under the rug, it creates a culture where students learn that accountability does not exist. We no longer feel this school provides a safe or nurturing environment for our daughter. Prospective parents should be aware of these systemic issues with safety protocols and communication before enrolling.

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.

Terrible school! They have no resources for your child if they struggle. The bullying is out of control! The teachers are very lazy!

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.

We are truly grateful for the wonderful experience our child had in Pre-K at Veterans Hill Elementary School. As an ESL student, our child came to school still learning English, and since we do not speak English at home, we were naturally worried about how the adjustment would go. But from the very beginning, Miss Perez made our child feel safe, welcomed, understood, and encouraged.Thanks to her patience, kindness, and amazing teaching, our child’s English improved tremendously within just one year. The confidence, communication skills, and growth we have seen have been truly incredible. More than academics, she helped build confidence, independence, and a love for learning.Miss Perez has always been caring, supportive, approachable, and understanding with both students and parents. We will always remember the positive impact she had during such an important stage of our child’s life.A big shout out as well to Miss Mejia for all her support, warmth, and care throughout the year. Both teachers created such a positive and nurturing environment for the children, and we truly appreciate everything they have done for our family.Thank you, Veterans Hill Elementary, for giving our child such a beautiful start to the school journey!

hello former student here. I went to this school 3rd through 5th grade it was for the most part the best school I've been to. I personally think that they could put better effort into creating a more emotionally safe environment when I went there I was excused because I wasn't as rich as most of the other kids in there, but with it being new very clean, GREAT teachers, I feel it's an amazing school.
