I love the teachers, and the great education my son receives
—Submitted by a parent


Posted September 30, 2004

S. Hutch Elementary is a wonderful school. The teachers are interested in the students and they take the time to get to know the parents. The 'AR' program they use to get the kids to read more often is well liked by all the students. The after school activities are great. I've had one student 'graduate' and have another that is half way through. Both kids love the school. My kids have been enrolled in one other elementary school in the area and I personally went to 3 others as a child. S. Hutch Elementary is by far the best around.
