I am really pleased with my son's progress at Jack Hayes. He was in first grade last year under Mrs. Stevenson and she was an excellent teacher. My son learned a lot and really enjoyed being in her class.

I have been very pleased with Jack Hayes. My son started Pre-K this year ,and I was really worried on how he would adjust ,but the staff has been wonderful,and he really enjoys the environment. He loves his teacher ,and I can already see how much he has matured and learned in just a couple of months. The teachers really keep the parents informed and involved in their childs education. I am really proud that my son goes to this school

We moved here two years ago and I was concerned about my children adapting to a new school. Well my worries were unwarranted. My daughter says she loves Jack Hayes more than any other school she has attended and has informed me that she will not go to any other school until after the sixth grade!As for me, I commend all of the teachers who are dedicated to children. The teachers encourage parental involvement and I'm very pleased with the curriculum and the implementation of the lessons.I only hope the other schools in this area are as fortunate to have such a great staff.I wish there could be more time set aside for quality P.E. class.

My son attended this school from k-6th grade. My wife and I am pleased with the academic progression that he has demonstrated through the years. The learning environment was outstanding and I'm pleased to know that a quality public education still exist. The teachers at the school were professional and welcomed parental involvement. The only thing that I think that should be considered is to add a foreign lanuage class. I would recommend this school to anyone moving to the area.
