I went to Hadley 2nd-5th grade it is Amazing extreme security and once there was a delincuent 100 ft from the school and within 2 minutes the school was on lockdown.the children are friendly and there is no bulliying whatsoever . Your child will be happy here and The principal Mrs.Menchero has amazing leadership and Mrs.Gil And Dr.Guold Are Amazing Vice principals!Hadley Is Amazing!
I think is the Best School in Miami, Dade. My son & daugther go there, ones in 4th and the other in kinder, The teacher are great, and very understanding!

Charles R. Hadley has been the best experience ever for my daughter, GABRIELA OLEAGA. I can t ask for more. She has been able to succeed and explode her full potential. The teachers are great and very caring. Their gifted programs is excellent and even thou there is a lot of homework at times, I believe is for the benefit of the child. As for those parents who are complaining about the school, it might be because they want their kids to be babied, they are not there to play they are there to learn, discipline is a key to success. We will miss the entire staff, since my daughter is graduating this year! Thank you for 6 fabulous years of good standard and great education!!!

My son is a 2nd grader at Charles R Hadley. He has been bullied the majority of the year. Even though I have discussed it many times with his teacher and now school counciler and principle it continues. They blame him because he stands out do to his long hair and said it should be cut, he doesnt look like the other boys. His teacher and counciler have even called him 'annoying' to my face! There are so many problems that I have experienced with this school this year theres just not enough room on this page to list it all. The experience this year has been very disapointing.

My daughter, Rhina Lara, attended this school from K-5th and she will always cherish the education she received at this school. I want to say thanks to Mrs. Falcon, Mrs. Argain and Mrs. Mena, Mrs. Placeres and Mrs. Miranda (retired), Mrs. Rivero and Mrs. Valle, Mrs. del Valle and Mrs. Gonzales, and wonderful Mr. Gans. My daughter was in the SABER program and later became Gifted. I have to say that this school was a safe haven and she made life-long friendships. I'm proud to say that she is now going to highschool and she still uses many of the advices that her CRH teachers gave her.

My oldest girl got into Middle School after Charles R. Hadley, I would say yes, very proud kids graduated from CR Hadley they are very well prepared to face all the challenges from Middle school, whenever teachers ask to do a task of any kind, guess who accomplised first, and help tutoring other kids who came from other schools. Also our Principal is the most active member, she was always on top of all activities, parents meetings, etc. A+ 4her

There are no such 15 students per teacher. No encouragement for kids or rewards. Other schools has more activities for the students and teachers. 2006-2007 year was awful experience for my child with a 30 student classroom and careless teachers. The whole year she was a trouble child and at the end she got a gifted child invitation for a test. How you explain that?

My daughter attended K - 5 grade and just graduated over the summer. Charles Hadley was an exceptional elementary school and stepping stone. I found the Principal and teachers to be very supportive and encouraging. This is an 'A' school and they work very hard to maintain their high standards. The environment was safe and nurturing. Assemblies and meetings were a challenge though for parking, seating and punctuality - meetings rarely started on time. Also, because the community is bilingual, all gatherings were conducted in 2 languages which at times, was very frustrating.

Wonderful faculty and staff. Teachers are dedicated, caring and resourceful. The arts programs such as music, art and PE are an asset to the learning environment of the school. The family enrichment center is the best in the county.

My daughter has been a student at Hadley for 4 years and it is an excellent school with a very 'pro-active' administration.

I am really disappointed with schools performance when it comes to students with ADHD disability. They have no clue on how to help them. Hopefully with my daughter as an ADHD student they will help other kids better in the future. School does not have trained office personnel or teachers to help these kids. Many are undiagnosed and they are being ignored. As I here parents complaining about other kids with bad conduct behavior they really need professional help before they hurt someone else. It is easy to see why so much violence is showing on TV when it comes to our kids. Please talk with them and their teachers. Get involved.

The school in general is very good. I am quite pleased with the level of education afforded to my children. I feel that the teachers are very dedicated and take great interest in my childrens progess. Am not pleased with the drop off/pickup process; it is very unorganized and should be improved. I also would like to see more controls put in place with regard to who goes in and out of the school. Overall, the school is very good!
