Hope View Elementary School

We took our child out midyear & changed schools.Abysmal.

AMAZING! The community network surrounding it is strong and it shows in every event. So much parent involvement which shows the kids that they think school is important!

The last post is what's unfounded and false. There is no monetary gain in Special Education litigation. You will never recoup the money you spend, you are only entitled to compensatory education for the past failure of services. The teachers at Hope are average-good teachers for general ed. General Ed students will get the education defined by the law. Special ed services are lacking due to the tight budget of the district. Their are some teachers who won't provide the additional help the child may need or can't because they don't understand the needs. Many Hope teachers will not acknowledge their duties in IEP meetings, they have false interpretations of the law because our district neglects to inform them. Therefore, they break the law without knowing. Many parents can not afford to be out the cost of litigation and hold the teachers and district responsible. The teachers need to be advocates for the student and listen to outside doctors/professionals. That is where many Hope teachers make their damaging mistakes. That child may never recoup socially, emotionally or educationally. The teachers need to know all aspects of their jobs in order to be great teachers.

The previously written reviews sadden me and in my opinion are completely false and unfounded. Unfortunately, the school has been cursed with a few very well known parents who would rather sue the district for monetary gain than accept that their child may or may not have a learning issue. These parents have done nothing but personally attack the integrity of the teachers and other staff members that are working under less than ideal conditions dealing with these individuals. I have yet to meet one teacher there who doesn't have each child's best interest at heart. Yes the homework quantity might be less than ideal depending on the grade level, but overall, it's an amazing school with a dedicated staff. In regards to the previous negative posts of the school and teachers, I stand by my statement that their claims are completely unfounded.
