Howard L Hall Elementary School

We were some what hesitant coming to this area because of the school. We did not know much. However, we took a leap of faith and are so happy we did. Just as the local communities are experiencing huge growths, so it Howard Hall... BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS. All for the good.

My son is in the fifth grade and has attended Howard Hall since Kindergarten. The teachers and staff has been an incredible influence in his both his academic development and maturity. The staff makes academic clubs such as broadcast, the BETA club and Quiz Bowl interesting, and encourages friendly competition among classes. The facilities are adequate, but money would be well spent to improve the playground area and the resource lab. The library would also benefit from a bigger budget to update reading materials for the accelerated reader program and replace many books which are falling apart. This school has been extremely military friendly and supportive of issues from multiple deployments. I highly recommend Howard Hall to any incoming military families.

I think all the teachers have a very positive attitute towards learning. Everything is bright and cheery in the classrooms! And the dress code is a wonderful way of keeping the children less 'aware' of clothing so they can focus on learning. My only 2 wishes are..and if this school could get extra funding... a better play ground and a separate accelerated learning program for gifted students.

The only thing I can say positive is the front office staff is wonderful. We came into the school mid-year after relocated to NC. I made the mistake of asking the principal a question about the dress code. She acted insulted. And don't email or call teachers with questions - you'll never get a response. I guess I will take off work and go to the school so I can ask the teacher for a meeting. I wonder if I can charge her for my time - since she will not respond to my questions via phone or email? However she can call and email me when she needs tissues, paper or hand sanitizer. UNACCEPTABLE.

Howard Hall is the best school my children have attended. I am in the military and my children have been to schools in Texas, Georgia and two schools in North Carolina. Howard Hall spends the most one on one time with their students. They offer many after school activities, as well. I have been deployed numerous times and Howard Hall has been the only school to offer a program that allows children to express their concerns and feelings to their peers going through the same situations. An awesome school and an outstanding learning environment.

Although, I missed the former principal Ms Gordy, the principal, now, Ms Robertson, is trying her ways to improve discipline among the students. I still like the idea of the principal waiting for the kids in the morning and open the car for you, (kiss and go). It is so nice to see the principal and/or the assistant principal to welcome your child having this great feeling he/she will be safe inside.

My daughter came to Howard Hall mid way thorugh the school year and I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful and easy they made the transition for her. The curriculum is excellent and the open communication I received from her teacher was very good. I cant wait for my son to start kindergarten this fall.
