J G Hening Elementary School

This is the worse school ever the stuffing sucks so bad I had to take my son out and switch to henrico school and he is doing so much better they don’t know how to work with black kids

Mrs. Toney is an excellent teacher. She has taught all of my children over the years and has treated all of them like family. My oldest is 25 and still talks about how Mrs. Toney is her favorite teacher. She cares about her students. We invite her to our cookouts and birthday parties and she always shows up. She makes learning fun!

This school if full of staff that does not care about kids. The few that do have no voice and are usually the ones who don't work here very long. They claim to be all hands on deck but no one has any idea what is actually going on in the classrooms. Bullying is bad and the staff do not care until it gets to the point where kids are struggling with their mental health and mental health providers become involved. Then they start to want to listen when your kid is diagnosed with depression and is having suicidal thoughts. Terrible school and careless staff if you can send your kids elsewhere.

My daughter received a death threat note on Friday from two students asking her to sign the bottom. We were never notified by the principal OR teacher. Only found out due to my daughter mention being in counseling in which the school also never notified the parents of. Even criminals have a right to have someone with them but my 9 year old did not?This is the direct reason things happen. The schools go above and beyond to cover everything up and pay it no attention. They did not contact authorities OR the parents. The schools informed 9 year old the kids were suspended even though they were in the parent pickup line and finished out the day of school. GET BETTER. WAKE UP. TAKE CARE OF OUR CHILDREN THATS WHAT YOUR PAID TO DO AND SIGNED UP FOR

This school is so amazing! The administration and staff genuinely loves the kids and goes above and beyond for them in every aspect. Moved here from another school that was deemed better in the area but Hopkins is by far a better school and so glad we moved and ended up at Hopkins!
