Hughes-Elizabeth Lakes School

The parent who had their children enrolled and now doesn't.This school is great and I feel bad for your children because the staff and teachers are very caring and the academics are top notch.But that is your choice. How you can give a 1 star is beyond me and just proves you don't get it and your rating is a joke..

There was quite a bit of hype about this school... but alas it was not true. I was told it had sports programs. But it doesn't. I was told it had art and music. But, alas, it's not so. I was told it had a GATE program. However, after enrolling my children I learned that there were no sports. There was no music to speak of. And the only arts program was an outside art program not associated with the school. As for GATE, while they have something they call GATE, it is nothing more then glorified babysitting for an hour after school once a week. That's when they have it. Some semesters, none of the teachers want to to it and there is nothing. I had to take my children out of that school and they had to work very, very hard to catch up academically in their new schools.

This is a wonderful school! Great teachers and staff. The parent involvement is high and the class sizes are low. The school has a friendly and caring atmosphere. I transfered my daughter from a school with high test scores but it can't compare with the individualized attention given to students at HELUS!
