Hybla Valley Elementary School

I will never undestand why this school continues to get such low scores, as they do not reflect what a good, sweet elementary school this is. My son is in 1st grade and runs to the bus top every day, happy and excited to go to school. His teachers have been kind, patient, very respectful to their students, and willing to communicate with us any time. Principal Kuntz is kind and makes it a point to learn every student's name and greet them with a friendly smile every morning. We appreciate the economic, neurodevelopmental and ethnic diversity at Belle View Elementary and see it was a real benefit to our son's emotional growth and larger life perspective. We're also happy that they Advanced Academic Program is now part of Belle View's offerings instead of kids having to move to another school to partcipate. The actual school building, classrooms and outside play areas are also very nice. I would strongly recommend all neighboring families to tour the school and talk to other parents rather than basing their choice on these scores alone. They do not paint an accurate or full picture.

This school is a gem. Small class size and great leadership. There are opportunities to be involved. It a nice neighborhood school. I would recommend it. The principal is wonderful and she cares about people and all the kids in the school and she knows everyone by name.

We have had a great experience at HMES, and would highly recommend parents giving it a chance This is a hidden treasure among the FFX county schools.

The teachers and administrators here care about the students! The school is on the small side but it’s in really good shape and well maintained.

My experience as a parent of my 7 year old so far has been Great I can't 'complain about teachers or staff at this school . Parent need to support there kids as well , is not only the school teachers that need to do all the job. Every parent should help their children's at home to be successful. Just to mention the Principal is vey engage in every activity in the School which is wonderful .

St. Louis is a nice small Catholic school. The PTA is lovely and works hard for the school. The administration seems to be wonderful with the students.The middle school is going through a rather big transition with teachers. All schools are. There is a new English teacher and a new science teacher who are both strong teachers. They seem very understanding. They are wonderful with the students and have a great knowledge base.The middle school math and religion continues to be the school’s weakest subjects. Teachers keep changing. Religion was a bit drab and h exciting for our child and the teacher is a little judgemental. There aren’t a whole lot of volunteer or community outreach opportunities for the students for religion either. My child did community service hours at another Catholic school. The lower school seems to have had a turnover so I can’t speak for that level. St. Louis feeds into Bishop Ireton and a few other Catholic schools in the area.

The COVID safety is atrocious. Cases are being reported multiple times a day with no protection. This school is over priced and worth skipping for consideration.
