Have had nothing but problems from the get-go. Seemingly rude and ignorant people have decided to…read morebuild a school platform that is exclusively for a select few families and their respective children that they wish to teach. A school centered around the teacher's needs rather than inclusivity for new families entering their school for the first time at high school level. My child's current teacher borders on verbal abuse, with her attitudes fueled by her own ignorance and judgements. The school counselor in 2020-2021 went out of her way to personally check on a highly sensitive family matter, above and beyond her duty to ethically report, breeching the ethics of her position and the confidence she attempted to build up with my child. Total trust violations since day one is my consensus. The school receptionist in 2020 did not make eye contact with me and only addressed my child directly when we came in together to get her enrolled. My child and I feel blacklisted for unknown reasons and the "we live in a small town," attitude is not digestible in this case. Taking my concerns to the school board for harassment/profiling and negligence. There are not adequate resources available for children with 504 plans, this aspect of my child's experience has been exploited by the administration and teachers who truly do not bother or appear willing to learn about their students and their families. Their parent/school communicator application is one-sided, parents can reply, however, their remarks can only be viewed by the administrators themselves. Believe you me, I fill out my annual parent survey as a bare minimum contribution but there isn't ever enough information provided in direct response (feedback). I feel too defeated by these obstacles mentioned, that now feel overwhelmingly harmful, despite my wanting to do more for my child and her school. I have commented several times about this from the start, which has fallen on deaf ears. My daughter's administrator and teacher have not considered the health and safety of my child on major intervention strategies implemented by me, her parent, in coordination with the school and county mental health programs. I am exhausted as a mom by the brokenness of our local education system, in particular, with poorly qualified or uninspired, ill-informed administrators. Consider this my white flag. I have been patient and diligent and we have not gotten the same respect in return.

Molly Lauf, our Principal, is wonderful with the children and is always looking for ways to improve the school. The Hunsberger PTA puts on several family-friendly events throughout the year and purchases much of the state of the art technology that the school district does not provide. In addition to purchasing equipment, the PTA also supports several programs that are not offered or paid for through the district, such as Foss kits, Kindness Enrichment programs and art. The Hunsberger art program offers all students opportunities to learn about artists and different mediums such as watercolors, oil pastels, acrylics as well as ceramic art. I love seeing all of the hallways lined with the art the kids have created! Not only is the school itself great, but the parents, many of whom volunteer their time on a regular basis are fantastic and always willing to help each other and look out for each others children. I am SO glad that I chose to live where I do, and part of that decision was based on the schools we are zoned for! All in all, this school is amamzing.......now, if only there was something we could do about the chaotic parking lot traffic! (Ha!)
