Hall Elementary School

Posted September 18, 2008

This school provides a great education. The teachers and administration of Hall are dedicated to educating the children and preparing them for the future. They have many after school programs and focus on reading and math extensively. There is a fairly diverse student base and many can't even read the alphabet when they come to kindergarden. the teachers are great at working with each child to bring them to the next level. In addition, they re-enforce behaviors that help them mature, such as, respectful, peacefulness, helpful, problem-solvers, and responsible.

I agree with the following statement 'The teachers at Hall are dedicated and enthusiastic. There are issues of a shift in the culture/diversity that are a challenge.' I believe that many parents stick to their own color clicks and don't want to get to know other parents. I also believe that being a diffrent race gets you diffrent treatement. Just because you are a diffrent race it doesn't meant that you are uneducated and don't care about you kids education.

The teachers at Hall are dedicated and enthusiastic. There are issues of a shift in the culture/diversity that are a challenge. Many 'veteran' parents complain about the change but don't reach out to be inclusive; new families, particularly those of diverse cultures, seem to mistrust. It's not a great lesson for the children. The administration is trying to address it but does so without community input, and frankly is falling flat on its face. It's sad to see, but I know the individual teachers are working hard to teach and my children are thriving academically, and hopefully through lessons taught at home, socially and culturally. The principal is trying, but needs to hold some 'town hall' discussions re new discipline, playground issues, and the ongoing, everchanging drop-off/pick-up and traffic issues. Her proposals to deal with the later impact more than the students and school families, they impact the community at large.

'I am new to the school, but from what I've seen is a high quality education in a structured and nurturing environment. The staff and administration truly care about the students. We have special events throughout the year. It's a really happy environment for children. They have additional enrichment both in and out of the classroom, as well as improvement programs. My kids have absolutely thrived in this environment. Highly recommended!'
