Hobbs is a magnificent school! All of the teachers are absolutely wonderful and caring! The principal knows all of the students by name. Hobbs truly cares about all of the students!

There seems to be less parent involvement, poor principal communication, negative approach to discipline, elimnation of fun kid activities. Very focused on fundraisers rather than building relationships among kids and kids, or kids and adults, need for PAC where teachers and parents can communicate about concerns.
