Haleyville Elementary School is the best!! Through great leadership from our superintendents over the years, all of our schools are working toward the same goal as to better educate ALL students. We have a Renaissance program that does reward good grades, good behavior and good attendance. The kids love the program!! Students attend sock hops, dance days, ice cream socials, a movie at the theater and even a lunch with the principal. The program is all about helping the students to work toward doing their best at all times.
Smaller class sizes for the younger grades. My daughter only has 15 in her class which I think is great.
The problem with Haleyville Elm. School is the way they treat the students. The Enrichment Program is designed to give the students with the highest grade point averages extra privilages. That may sound good in theory, but in reality, it also tends to make the average and below average students feel less important. Giving rewards for doing well is a good idea! I agree with that! I just think the way this school is doing it is wrong! To identify students with all A's or all A's and B's they give out different colored bracelets. Then they send home memos to all students letting them know that blue bracelets gets to go to the movies, and red bracelets gets to have a pizza party. The kids with no bracelet gets nothing. In my opinion, all children should feel important. I believe this is why alot of good kids go bad!
This is a great school that is strongly supported by its community. It teaches the students much more than just the standards.
