School has lost almost 30 employees (office staff and teachers) since the end of last school year June 2012. School needs new leadership. With up to 90% new staff this year makes you wonder!!!
My daughter went into Kindergarten in the 2010/2011 school year at Hidden Oaks and we both were so nervous. Within the first few weeks I realized what a great school this was. Her teacher was above and beyond an excellect teacher, and through out the year I came to respect the principal she is a strong leader and a great cheerleader for the school! I am so excited to send my daughter back for her 1st grade year at Hidden Oaks.

Wow! How impressed I am. This school is wonderful. Principal Myers is hands on with everything. My daughters Kindergarten teacher is the greatest. I cannot say enough good about this school. The PTA is truly incredibly. What a fun, learning experience for my daughter. Our first year is almost over and I am seriously impressed.

Hidden Oaks will do whatever it takes to make a child feel loved, accomplished, important, and academically succesful.
I have had 3 children at Hidden Oaks with 2 still there in 3rd and 4th grade. I love the school. The staff is outstanding and Mrs. Myers is an awesome principal. She gives the best so she receives the best in return. The PTA at the school is very dedicated to all the students at Hidden Oaks. I know my kids are being well taught and that they are safe while they are there. Go Hawks!

The school was great when it first started out, I feel the quality of structure is slipping.

Hidden Oaks is an awesome school. My daughter has spent the last 3 years in this school and is now 'soaring' on. She started in 3rd grade with Mrs. Gatlin, very loving and caring. Fourth grade Mrs. Nieves, tough lady, absolutely loves her students. Fifth grade Ms. Kramer, very caring. I thought being a new school in her third grade year that 'of course' the school is gonna 'rock', being new with everything new and updated. Well let me tell you, this school still 'ROCKS'. Everyone from the envir. staff to the upper office staff. Lets just say when my child was at school I knew she was safe.

Hidden Oaks is an excellent school. My son is in Kindergarden and his teacher Mrs. Miller is an outstanding teacher. She dedicates herself to the kids with such care and love. She communicates very well with parents when needed and her teaching skills are amazing. My son loves the schools and all the teachers. I would recommend Hidden Oaks Elementary as one of the best schools in Palm Beach County.

I just moved to FL about 5 month ago. I came from the Northeast. I have to say that Hidden Oaks does value my child's education. My son was picked on by a bully and when I addressed it to his teacher. Within 24 hours the matter was taken care of and I was kept in the loop at all times. There is 0 tolerance on misbehavior with any student. I also would like to say that the main office staff are a pleasure to speak with. Only 5 months in FL and have a positive feel for this school.

We love Hidden Oaks Elementary. I have 2 boys that have been here since the opening of the school in Fall of 2005. My youngest was privileged to have Mrs. Travis as his first teacher. What can you say she is one of the best teachers we have ever had. her kindness and warmheartedness is felt by every child she teaches. My second grader was just as lucky to have Mrs. Wampler as his teacher. Her patient and down to earth demeanor gives her classroom a warm homelike feeling and it is seen on all the children's faces. The school administration is also wonderful. Great communication, safety, an up front attitude to address any concerns that you may have. Here's to Mrs. Meyers and her staff. Everyone is always helpful and very attentive to your needs. What a wonderful place and a wonderful extension of the family. Go Hawks!

I have 3 daughters who went to another school in the district that Ms. Sari Meyers was principal at. When Ms. Meyers moved to Hidden Oaks we followed because we knew with her at the helm it would be a great school and we were not disappointed. The school, teacher's, activities are fantastic. PTA is phenomenol as well as parental involvment. I can't speak highly enough of our first year at Hidden Oaks!I drive my daughter to and from school everyday so she can go there (out of our district) and I will continue to do so until she finishes 5 th grade (she is in 2nd). KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK HIDDEN OAKS!

This school is only one year old, but it is very good. There are many different academic programs offered. Children are encouraged to read and write. Children are encouraged to excel academically and are rewarded. This past year all children were encouraged to submit poems and at the end of the school year, winners were selected. A book of poems was created, which included all selected poems, and the winners presented their poems. There is a rotation of programs which include Music, Art, Media, Physical Education, Guidance, Computer Lab, Science Lab, etc. The after school program includes many extra curricular activities, such as Dance, Computer Lab, etc. Parent involvement is high. The PTA planned several activities throughout the year, which allowed to raise funds, while making these exciting and fun events for both children and parents.

We moved to South Florida after having been in a very aggressive, top-rated school district. The teachers and administrators are outstanding. My children did not miss a beat. The school is very diverse. Awesome first year!
