Hilda J. Barbour Elementary School

Well some teachers don’t answer the phone so I did go home the wrong thing one year and they can be rude and the like say do meting on dojo and song give a paper like for picture day so yeah and it’s very small

Staff at the school is vary vary kind helpful and welcoming to my son and myself

My son is in Mrs. Scheulen’s (with the help of Mrs. Deavers) Kindergarten class, and I am thrilled about how much he is learning. I hope she is still around when my youngest son joins LFK, and will hopefully request her as a teacher for him as well. I gave my son the option to homeschool or go to public school, and he wanted to do learning with a whole class. I had my reservations, but it was so difficult trying to teach him myself, he just didn’t want to do it with ME, and would often get frustrated. He went from 0-100 with really wanting to learn at home as well as showing me all of the things he accomplishes at school. I love how often he tries to write words, sounds them out, asks me to read to him, and counts/does math to show off his skills at home. He is also much more into music and doing additional crafts when he comes home. The transition from home to public school was a little bumpy at first, but I’m SO HAPPY and proud of how far my son has come in such a short time. Thank you, the hard work of the teachers and staff don’t go unnoticed. I hope with the change of principal, I will continue to feel great about my son’s education.

My child was neglected by the staff. The staff were rude and careless. The environment was awful. The students relentlessly bullied each other. My child was physically assaulted by students multiple times and when brought to staff attention it wasn't properly addressed. Twice my child was harmed and I wasn't called by the school or contacted until after I called the school. My child was withdrawn from this school after developing severe PTSD and crippling anxiety from constant bullying, physical assault during school hours, and the teachers failing to provide educational support and excluding my child from class projects multiple times.

I love the school! The teachers are wonderful, and truly care for the students. Mrs. Sauvager (sp? - sorry) makes us all feel like she’s part of our family when we see her. All the teachers make time for parent questions/communications. We also love the sports - volleyball!!!! (Also, please do men’s volleyball again!!!!!) All the coaches are wonderful. The best part, for me? My son who always hated school, now enjoys it and is getting Honor Roll consistently! We love DRA
