Hoover Wood Elementary School

Since Gina Greenwald has been principal she does not use data driven interventions to drive student achievement. She just "deals" with what the students are doing negatively as it happens. It is called data driven because their is proof in its effectiveness.

Bullying is at an all-time high with this school! Just be aware!The Principal calls it "being mean" - not "bullying". Of course she does not want to admit to it ON HER WATCH.

It is nice that they allow parental involvement, but even that has politics involved and I had to insist that I be allowed in the classroom with the other parents. They also tried to give my special ed inclusion daughter a separate curriculum, and until I got the Special Ed district chair involved they did not include me as part of the IEP team even though I am a Special Education Teacher. The therapists are pretty good, but my child's teacher hasn't been very good at working with any of her students with special needs as she has little patience with them.

i went there 1-5 it was amazing! im now in high school i was there the opening year, can't wait to go back in ten years and open the vault!
