Union Hill Elementary School

Stay away from this school, especially if your child has any special needs. There is a lack of support for children with any kind of social-emotional support needs and a complete lack of action on bullying unless you take your concerns to the district. Trying to work with the current administrators is an exercise in futility, as the blame for anything that happens involving your child will automatically be your fault and your child's and no one else's. If I were the RISD Superintendent I'd shut this school down and completely overhaul staffing, support, and resources as none of it is adequate.

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.

Lots of opportunity for involvement, although many parents do not. Teachers have all been invested in my student’s success. A few cases of bulky behavior have been handled swiftly and justly. You can’t really hold the school responsible for the quality of kids and parents who attend. Any school is a factor of what you put in. 7 habits is a great for shaping responsibility and independence.

My kids went from Kinder through 5th grade. Every year we had the most amazing teachers! LHE teaches our kids character: integrity, honesty, kindness, and compassion. The school is clean. We had the BEST experience as a family and my kids thrived...academically, emotionally, socially and caring

Why is this school rater so low? The test results have improved dramatically in the last year (post-covid) and the staff and teachers are amazing. We had our kids in 9/10 school in California and it was terrible.
