I recently graduated from this school after 7 years attending. The education and college…read morepreparation aspects are top tier. The student is held at a much higher standard, causing there to be many restrictions, even in the higher grades. Most teachers care not only about what they teach, but the students themselves. While this school excells in teaching work habits, it seems somewhat lacking in teaching social habits. You will most likely not have the same social-life experience that most high schools offer. Relationships between students seem strictly taboo similarly to relationships with coworkers. Despite this, I found my best friend here, and had a wonderful experience I will never forget. You will not regret going here in the slightest. ps give Mrs. Wilgenburg a raise she works too hard and bring Abbot and my boi Jeremy back thanks

The quality of instructors has a quality mix to it, but most were very good. Also, if you like an instructor, you can try to schedule more lessons with that specific instructor, which was helpful. It can be difficult to find lessons when and where you want, but if you book far enough ahead of time, you can generally find several reasonable options. General communications: Every time we called the company for help, they were very responsive and always friendly. Overall, I would say our experience was very positive, and I would use them again if I need to and would recommend them.

Hammond Elementary

SO. I'm going to write my elementay experience for the sake of any new kid coming to this school or…read morea worried parent. (i am no longer a elementry schooler, just to clear things up). Here's what I think: 1. Its a great school, overall clean, teachers are mostly nice, school is good in general I want to say that everyone in the school is great, but you can't live life with a bit of suffering. I DO know some people that left this school for a few reasons. 1. One kid was bullied badly (2022-2024), came home with bruses, and hated school. I was a saftey, and protected him in the bus, but dispite me being there the bullying still procceded, in the bus, and in the school. The child is in another school now, but acorrding to the bullys they were "ruff housing" and trying to "tuffen him up". Clearly, that was not the case. So all I can say, is to make sure your kid has a bit of backbone just in case if some kids want to do this again (Just an fyi, this only happened to a few students, the bullys are much older now and their situation was handeled by a responcible adult). 2. One kid WAS the bully(2022-2026). The parents actually assumed that this kid was the victium and that he needed protecting but I was there. Ruff housing others, being rude to children, actually bullying the kid I mentioned above and more. just like to give the fyi though that this child is no longer at hammond elementry,but I just wanted to let children and parents know that people like him are out there in the elementry school, and not to always expect it, but to be ready if it comes. 3. Another kid bullied (2021). Sadly he left, but was bullied for his personality and haircut. After he left, kids started behaving better after the teachers stepped in. Those are a few things in the school, but I think it's time for some nice things: 1. recess and lunch. The child gets lunch of their choice from multipul options ranging from pizza to yougurt plate to choice of the day! At least one vegitable or fruit is needed permeal, and they get a choice of drink! The eating place is clean (just a bit of warning to noise sensitive studdents, it can get a bit loud) and is fun to be in). I left before they added the protable rooms outside for extra classroom space, but it doesn't affect recess. Pleanty of safe space for children and adults supervise them constently throughout. 2. The classes. They are quite fun! The teachers are very nice and supportive/inclusive of all students. I honestly wouldn't have any complaints about the curriculum, but I would recomend getting into GT classes as soon as possible. I was not able to, despite my 100% grades, and waited till middle school because it was extreamly hard to do it after 3rd grade (I eventually got in 7th grade, but clearly it took a while). I would also like to note that it is a lot easier doing so. 3. Related arts. You may be wondering what we do in these classes. Basically they rotate during the week, each day getting a new related arts (don't worry, the teachers usually help to get to each class). Music included a bit of singing, group activities, and instruemnt learning. Technology class taught us how to do basic coding, how to use short cuts and how to type. In P.E. we learned about fitness, did activities (inside and out), and learned new sports (even some unheard off like "headake ball" but I'm not sure if they removed that or not ). Art was wonderful, we did self portates, clay suclptures, mugs, piggy banks, and more! I actually had the teacher Mr. Wethington when I went there and he was very nice. AND THE LIBRARY! Sad when I just recently checked that my favrorite library teacher wasn't there, but ignoring that right now, I would just like to say that the class was great! Its a class where we spent most of the time reading a reserching and making new bonds. You can go before first piriod when you walk throught the doors, and you can go at the end of the day too. Its a wonderul class and I hope that the suddent that goes enjoys it. 4. FINALLY the teachers: here are the ones that I would say were great teachers (supportive, nice, and would probably be okay with you going up to them and asking questions): -Melissa Paper-Garthoff ( Special Ed Kindergarten Paraeducator ),Anne Allen (Teacher, currently 2nd grade), Maria Rocco (Teacher, currently seccond grade),Kelly Edwards (Third grade team leader), Bernard Hector (Fourth grade team Leader), Jessica Monti (fith grade teacher & team Leader), Cathy McDerment (fith grade teacher), Brittany Jacobs ( Orchestra), Suzanne (Serpico) McCulloch (Team Leader Physical Education), Lang Wethington (Art teacher). While I would like to write more, I'm running out of room . I hope this was informative, and I wish good luck to any new students and parents going here! It was wonderful, and I'm sure you will have an amazing experice :) Have a great day!

I truly believe any facility dedicated to the education of our future (our children) should be given five stars. I was a little perplexed about the size of the lockers. They look like they belonged in an elementary school. In this day and age where high schoolers are 10 feet tall, I don't think they should have to get on their knees to get in and out of their lockers. Maybe that is their exercise for the day. Who knows. The school was very clean and their trophy case was loaded. I would have taken a picture, however I hate to be in pictures (via reflective glass).

I'd heard great things about the school and the teachers, but it surpassed my high expectations. The curriculum involves activities like themed dramatic play where kids interact in a sandwich shop, bowling alley, or campsite. Ms. Cheyenne and her team make the most beautiful sets for the cooperative play! The school has a very organized structure which worked well for my son. He knew what to expect. The learning was made fun through hands on activities and the enthusiasm of the teachers. On Fridays they had specials such as Zumbini, Karate, and Art to name a few. I highly recommend Miss. Cheyenne's school in every way! We will miss it.

I have no doubt that my child is ready for college based on their experience at Burke. It's a warm and welcoming community with academic rigor, but kids are not as stressed out as some other schools.

Sports facilities are lacking, but an easy compromise to make for the location. Sports teams are no cut which means kids can play sports every season if they choose.
