Hutchinson Elementary School

I have two boys here, one in KG and one now in 1st who did KG here as well. My boys love their teachers and have been doing very well. The teachers stay on top of any concerning areas and keep you informed. The principal, Ms. Bacon, is really good and the kids love her. Great to see her out doing traffic when the stop light goes out! Everyone here has been very helpful.

I will give a quick "first impression" of the school and do a follow up in a few months. Wow! First, cannot get over how incredible the principal seems to be! Really sharp, thoughtful, great communicator especially with my child. Provided a lot of her time "personally" showing us the school, introducing us to teachers, inviting us to special presentations. My child's teacher appears to be pretty incredible as well. Although the facility is older, it is wonderful warm and inviting. Class ratios are still good although with impending budget cuts this could change again. Playground is awesome. And there appears to be an very supportive PTO. Everyone I've spoken to from the "cafeteria ladies" to parents waiting in line have nothing but good things to say. The negative -- only 2 things I can say initially -- no window in my child's room and who knows what will happen with new budget cuts! Keeping fingers crossed on that one. Our entire family has felt welcomed to this new environment and for that we are truly appreciative! Even the support staff is GREAT!

Hutchinson has been an amazing school for my kids. We choice enroll there and it was such a great decision. The teaching staff is amazing and so is the principal. Mrs. Bacon truly cares about the school and each and every child there!! Couldn't ask for a better school!!!

My kids have thrived at Hutchinson. I have one in 3rd and one in 6th. Both have loved their teachers every year. The principal is amazing and works very closely with the staff, students and parents. I highly reccommend Hutch!

My daughter is getting ready to finish Kindergarten there and she loves the school and so do I! When she started Kindergarten, she couldn't read and now she is reading really well, creating her own books and is really excelling! I'm very happy with the school and have had no problems and no regrets open enrolling her there.

This school has a very involved PTO that works with teachers and staff to fill the needs of the students. The Principal offers excellent leadership and sets definate boundaries for behavior. My 3 children are excelling at this school, scoring in Proficient and Advanced on the CSAPS as well as challenging themselves to achieve more from themselves. The teachers are very involved and willing to talk about any issues or concerns. Excellent school.

We came from a charter school to Hutchinson. I thought a charter would give my kids a better education. I was wrong. This is a great school and it was a choice enrollment for me. We have just completed our first year (6th grade and 3rd grade) and couldn't be happier. They really care here.

The academics are good. Some gradelevels had teachers that were poor but they are now gone. The overall environment of this school is pleasant and friendly. The PE teacher is exceptional and goes out of his way to provide sports activities before and after school on his own time free to students. He teaches them how to play the sports, have good sportsmanship and builds up their self confidence.

I really like that the Principal is outside with the kid's before and after school, and she knows all of there names! The P.E. teacher does so much extra for the school and the kids. Due to all of the programs he runs before and after school, I have not had to find extra day-care for my daughter.
