All of my children have attended HGE. When my first child started, this school was mostly white. In the 2004 year, this school became richly diversified. At first, I do think everyone struggled with the changes. However, now it continues to be one of the best schools in the area. The teachers are fantastic, the principal is a good leader, the curriculum and technology are up to date, and the lerning environment enriched, challenging, and caring. I will be sad when my last child leaves this school.

Our oldest daughter completed K-6 at Hazel Grove in 2005. The last 3 (4th - 6th) years were a nightmare. The discipline was inconsistent and arbitrary. Children who were model students were punished en masse with those who could not control their behavior. When our neighborhood was segmented to another elementary school for the 2005-2006 school year, we were relieved our youngest daughter would be able to move to an elementary school where there was control and a calm learning environment.

This is a fantastic school! My children attended Hazel Grove through 5th grade when we moved out of state. The teachers are wonderful and Dr. Troester does an exceptional job of getting to know families of each student. It is a great environment for learning and succeeding!

The curriculum is wonderful, however I think the principal is in need of a cultural diversity class. He does not seem to be adjusting to African American children being in his school and has verbally stated that he is not use to dealing with 'black' children. Otherwise that school seems to be great.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Missouri used the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in math and communication arts, and in grades 5 and 8 in science. The results for math, communication arts, and science are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The MAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Missouri. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
