Read what parents are saying about Hardy Elementary School

Hardy Elementary School is not a safe place for special education students or their families. The principal is a bully who pushes around staff and parents and threatens anyone who speaks out against her. She is a mean, vindictive person. Teachers will lie about your child’s success in the classroom

As a member of the community for over 20 years, a SHS graduate and 3 children in this school system from high school to 3rd grade. We have had the worst experience with T. Gilchrist and S. Denson. Both are unprofessional and do not care for the needs of ALL children. Document every phone with a foll

I love the school as the teachers are amazing. I wish the clubs were cheaper as everytime my kid does anything they are asking for money. I think we spend close to $200-$300 in clubs or are asked to and opt out. The school rents bouncy houses, buys cups, pens, bully bracelets and misc stuff which is wonderful, but I wish it went towards equipment or club expenses. My kids have gone to five schools and I do feel like everything is expensive except the run club. Recently my daughter came home with 12 anti-bullying bracelets as the kids were throwing them away and she “saved them”. The teachers are amazing and wonderful though so kuddos to them!
