I thought the principle was amazing.He is there for every event let it be 6th 7th or 8th grade events. he involves himself with all the students, in every range of academics. The teachers are supportive, caring,take extra time for my child when needed.

I must say, as a parent, Hannah Beardsley is one of the highest ranked schools in Illinois. The teachers give each student attention, and helps them when they see a strugle. The Language Arts/Reading teachers exceed what other middle school's would focus on. For example, the students in eight grade work on building theme, and relevance in their reading. In math, the teachers help each student with all the care. This school is very high, and has the most excellent, and has one of the top teachers in the United States. A+

As an 8th grader at HBMS, I would like to say that I have spent the best three years here. The teachers and faculty members are great, but the whole environment is simply amazing. The gifted program is probably the best program I have ever gone through. Who knew I could enjoy books such as 'To Kill A Mockingbird', 'My Antonia', and 'A Tale of Two Cities'! Also, it has been great pleasure to experience the 'hands on' activities in Sewing and Home Ec. I am extremely saddened to know that future students will not have the same pleasure. The teachers at Hannah are truly one-of-a-kind. They really reach out to each student, and are fun to be around. Not to mention the fact that they hold such amazing after school activities such as drama club, jazz band, basketball, and volleyball. I will miss this school. sincerely, an 8th grader who cares.
