Union Hill Elementary 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 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.

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.
