Nathan Hale Elementary School

The students could use less time out of school, fewer incidence of substitute teachers when a teacher is on leave, and more integration of classroom activities between above average students and average students,.

This school has a great reading progam.The teachers used the block system.However,the new principal allowed a teacher to only give the required words (word wall)and some spelling words.The reason the kids could not pass the test with all the words.The kids that were at grade level were not challenged.I feel you should not lower your standards.Bring your students up to grade level.This was my experience with this school.

Overall, I'm impressed with the school, but I truly hope the administration seeks a couple of male teachers, so the young men can have some male figure/role model.

My twins were in kindergarten last year. I volunteered just about every Tuesday. I love the teacher they had Miss Zelanik. My kids have come along way from when they started. The major differences I've seen have been with the kids you can tell get help at home and the ones that don't.

I'm impressed with the academic programs, but they need to hire a few male teachers. The boys need to see a few men in teaching roles and not just maintenance roles. Also,some men are more tolerant than women and hiring a few men will lessen the disciplinary issues. The school needs to offer more extracurricular activities. The school has a strong PTA. The PTA does a lot for the school. There is a high level of parent involvement. Overall, I am satisfied with sending my child to Nathan Hale.
