Great neighborhood school with caring teachers and staff!
Posted by a parent on 4/28/2017Great neighborhood school. The teachers, staff, parents and students are outstanding. Become a volunteer or join the PTA and you won't be disappointed. They are all very loving and welcoming!

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating Average1 Star , 2 at best. The 5th grade classes are are total chaos.(Not much the teacher can do) 2024 , Hidenwood Elementary is not representative of the area. I'm not sure where these kids are bused in from..The Hidenwood neighborhood I'm at is nothing like the school demographics, hence, the school has been chaos since I was there 2008 until 2024.Other Review2y ago - Horace H.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur first year experience at Yates Elementary School was not ideal for a new kindergartener ( 2025-2026) , my son’s kindergarten teacher was switched 3x over the course of his first year, no consistency in teaching staff, no communication to parents, very unhappy overall , I do not recommend sending your child to kindergarten at this school.Parent Review2mo ago - T.

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter is a new student at jenkins elementary and my daughter had came off the bus saying the teacher was being very mean to her on first day and continues being mean to my child for no Reason. daughter had just started this new school and it is already showing me signs that they don't like accountability. I had went up there address the issues still no feedback at all. Also me and my daughter didn't feel welcome. Please don't send your child here.
