Hoffmann Elementary School

Overall I do not recommend this school. My son has attended since kindergarten and is now in third grade. He has slipped through the cracks and is still at a kindergarten level. Despite being told he is progressing over and over when in reality he is not and our family had to outsource tutoring. The administration is continually changing, the teachers are usually out due to whatever reasons meaning you will see a lot of subs often. The lack of communication between years is horrific. I will say you do get the occasional nice teacher which only happened once for my son then he had a sub for the rest of the year. From his first year he had a teacher that should have retired , allot of the teachers you see will have no patience and yelling is what they think helps. This school has really gone down hill. Think highly of not sending your child here because they do not have any plans in place for bullying either and you will need to advocate for your child big time here. Unexperienced and unprofessional school.

The support of the staff and Principals in this school is AMAZING and supportive to all kids and families. It’s a very large school but is run extremely well considering how many students go there. Everyone is welcoming and helpful to student’s success and I encourage families to reach out if they need help as I know they go above and beyond to help the kids. I would definitely recommend this school!

I would caution parents—especially those with children who have ADHD or other disabilities—to ask detailed questions about how this school handles discipline and student safety.In our experience, the school failed to appropriately respond to a situation where my child’s privacy was violated and instead chose to discipline my child for a disability-related reaction. There was little evidence of investigation, accountability, or disability-informed support.Communication was delayed, and responsibility was shifted onto the child rather than addressing the underlying safety issue. This approach was not supportive, equitable, or consistent with best practices for students with disabilities.Schools should be places where children feel safe, protected, and understood. Unfortunately, that has not been our experience here.

This place is truly an amazing place! My children are being challenged in positive ways. Its also been a blessing to see their personalities really shine here. We love the events and talking to the staff. Mrs. Romero especially has been a key factor in the success of my children.
