This school is horrible. One time my son got bullied, and got a black eye and scars all over him and the teachers said nothing and did nothing. The teachers are so rude. That parking lot and cafeteria is so horrible I can't handle it, you might as well feed my child dirt. I now send my child to Thomas Haley. Best choice I have ever made in my life.

Haley is a good school my 3 children and I have all attended Haley. The principal is great.The teachers the had were very open about everything. The chikdren never complained. The parking area is about really inconvienant it takes forver to get the children its always crowded not much parking.The cafateria can also use some help I went to eat lunch with them on several occasions and the my kids and other students hardly touched the food, its cold and tasteless

I love John Haley. The teachers work so hard and care so much about the children that they teach! My child has been there 3 years and I have had a fantastic experience. Their compassion and support with my ADHD child has given me tremendous strength. The teachers always look for new ways to help support me as a parent. Thank you John Haley for all you do for not only my child but for all of the children that come through your doors every day! You're the BEST!!!

I think John Haley is a very unwelcoming and un friendly school. I don't get a good feeling when I walk through the door. I'll be glad when my children are in middle school.
