Kitty Hawk Elementary School

my daughter came to kittyhawk after over crowding in another school and i had no choice. when i talked to the principal she seemed like a very concerned and capable and was told how great the teachers were. i soon found that things like no tolerance for bullies or even treating kids with respect was in short supply. my husband was in the military so my children has been to many types of schools and i have never been so frustrated and disappointed as i was here. the 5th grade seems to be more like a k-2 grade class. they say they want to teach responsibility and independence but when my daughter was in third grade she was given more responsibility and independence in her work than in 5th here.

My daughter came from Dayton Public Schools and currently in the 1st grade with Ms. Detty's. I am very happy with the school and caring staff. My daughter could not read and could barely write and after 1 month at this school my daughter is reading and writing. The teacher even sends books home so she can read to me every night. They always call me with updates and concerns. I am so glad my child attends Kitty Hawk. My daughter actually wants to go to school now and is very happy. Thank you Ms Detty and all the Staff.

My Daughter was in need of help with speech and Huber Heights Schools opened there arms to help us. She goes to Kitty Hawk and she is getting the help and undrestandng that she needs. There are parents out there how look down at the schools here in Huber and it is sad. We as parents need to get more active in what is going on in our schools. I have been to focus groups and A lot of Parents are to lazy or can't be bothered to even come to a meeting. Yet all they do is complain.

We left Kitty Hawk for a charter school. It is a run down building with little enrichments. There are a lot of bitter and burned out people there. The K, 1st, and 2nd grade teachers were personally wonderful and are why we stayed for those years. They were warm, caring, and did great things. However I was disappointed to find that my daughter was not learning to read. My younger daughter started K in the charter school and was reading at the level my older one was at Kitty Hawk by 2nd grade. However the charter is too rigid and teachers are not warm or caring. There's a trade off either way. Our ultimate goal is to move to a better neighborhood and get into a better district, b.c. S. Huber is really becoming a bad neighborhood.
