Hurricane Town Elementary School

Most teachers here are no good. They dont know how to handle children without screaming. If you have another option to send your child somewhere else, do it!

My daughter went here for Kindergarten and was in the "special needs/autism room" due to some behavioral issues. The "autism" teacher acted like she had never dealt with a child on the spectrum. She was inept at her job at best and abusive at worst. The principal was not any better. They said "she needs to learn to control herself" or "she will have to go to another school." She is on the spectrum, and for them to say "she needs to learn or else" is absolutely unacceptable. We finished out the school year and transferred her out of that joke of a school.

Our school has excellent community and parental involvement which is encouraged by all of the staff. Our new principal is awesome and gets to know all of the children and their families. I have three children enrolled in this school, one of which is a special needs child who she has personally taken the time to be involved and ensure that he gets the education he deserves and not just passed along due to his circumstances. The teachers are very qualified and caring to all of my children. Most parents are encouraged to be very involved in our children's education and we are always welcome to visit. It is a small community school and I would not want my children anywhere else. They have recently started walking and reading clubs in the morning for our children and have an after school daycare program run by the staff. They use up to date technology and the teachers are constantly learning how to improve their skills to further improve the skills of their student. The success of this school cannot be measured by standardized testing. They also strive to instill good character and citizenship in the students and should be commended for their efforts.
