Hampton Elementary School

I have alot of experience in this school I learned alot of things

Bullying was outrageous. My daughter was attacked by a group of girls in her classroom, in THIRD GRADE. They never called me about the incident, I had to call them after my daughter told me what happened. Their solution at the time of the incident? To remove my daughter from the class and place her into a second grade classroom instead of removing the children that attacked her. Racism is also a big problem. I pulled both my children out shortly after that.

I toured this school as a business doing work there. The students are well-behaved, and respectful. You can tell that they are treated well, and come from families that care about them. The school is clean, well maintained, and the teachers and staff are engaged and motivated.

The staff at the scool is caring and concerned about the students and their families as a whole.

As a current student at Atonement Lutheran School, I feel disappointed in how bullying is handled here. The way staff responds often makes it worse. Students who speak up don’t feel supported, and the same problems keep happening over and over. Some of the bullying is even ignored by teachers but they would turn their heads at bad behavior such as talking, unneat uniform, and etc. I am not saying that teachers ignore this constantly but they handle this very poorly. Gossiping about others is the main problem there and I suggest discipline is the only way to work things out, and what I mean about that is that the students should clean the desks or sweep the floors so when students get informed about this new rule, their less likely to make these kind of mistakes. I also suggest Teachers should be cautious during recess because those big groups of girls/boys doesn't seem so friendly as it may be seen. I have also seen bad behavior in classrooms and teachers just let the student off with a warning which makes that student more likely to cause a scene like throwing stuff and teasing another classmate. Atonement should be more strict about their rules, this is a Christian school, not a free roaming place where you could do whatever you want.
