Both of my boys go to Hutchins and I love this school! The teachers are great, willing to do what it takes to get the job done. The new principle is awesome!! He is very involved with the kids. We live out of the district so we got permission for the boys to attend this school because I feel it is the best for my kids and don't mind the drive one bit because I know they are getting the best!!

This school has always been at the forefront of trying to meet students' needs. The teachers are very dedicated and want the best for the students. The academic standards are excellent, and parents are welcome to participate in their child's activities.

Principal lacks respect for women. He does not allow parent volunteering in your child's classroom. Teachers seem to be very good.
