Hammond Elementary School

I have been involved with this school since it opened back in 2007. I was on the original PTA Board and it’s been an exceptional school since day #1. The teachers at Hammond are phenomenal and they deeply care for their students and ALL of their kindergarten teachers are fantastic. The quality of education here is second to none. My older children got a fabulous foundation and they both have gone off to college for engineer with full scholarships. My two younger children are also excelling at Hammond. The Advance Gifted Program is extremely enriching and the school even offer a multitude of after school programs such Math Clubs. The PTA at Hammond is strong and creative. They have raised a lot of money over the years and it will be clear to see when you tour the school. The school is lucky to have an abundance of volunteer and not a shortage which enables the school to host a number of fun activities throughout the yr such as the Wolf Cub Prowl, Field Day and Jump Rope For Hearts just to make a few. There are opportunities to get to know other families every month at different area restaurants that host the school’s Family Fun Nights where a certain percentage is returned to the school. So is you are considering this area you will not be disappointed. Keystone (the Odessa’s part of zip 33556that is in Hillsborough Co) is beautiful, safe and very family oriented. I have lived in this area for almost 20 yrs and although it’s grown it’s still a very small and close knit community and the middle schools and High Schools in the are just as wonderful.

One of the best school in Tampa! Exceptional teachers and administration, they will go beyond and above to help students and parents. Their ESE dept. is best in the Hillsborough County! Very organized! We are so lucky to have such a wonderful school in our neighborhood! Our daughter is progressing well and she is happy and well loved at this school! We love Hammond Elementary!

Hammond is an exceptional school. I have 3 children who attend the school through school choice. One of my children has an IEP and one of my children is gifted and talented. The teachers at this school work hard to differentiate instruction, guiding students to reach their individual best. The school has a very strong music program. My children come home motivated and secure with stories to share about their classes and extras every day. They wake up excited to get to school. Most importantly, this is a school environment of respect and enthusiasm.

We are very please with Hammond. The teachers and the entire staff really care about the quality of education they are delivering to our children,
