William Hatch Elementary School

Both of my children have graduated from this school and I will miss it very much. Wonderful sense of community. The general music teacher is exceptionally strong and runs a steel band program that is one in a million. My children both enjoyed their years at Hatch and flourished. The oldest has been successful in middle school, the youngest is poised and ready. They both formed many excellent friendships that endure.

I had 2 kids graduate from Hatch Elementary. Both did excellently at Brooks Middle School & OPRF High School.. The oldest is now in college and was very well prepared. I cannot say enough about the education that my children have received in Oak Park, IL.

This school is top notch. The teachers have been excellent for our two kids, and we couldn't be happier. BTW, the Illinois State Board of Education just released their annual School Report Card, and achieved "Exemplary" status. Exemplary status, is granted to schools that are performing in the top 10% of schools statewide and have no under performing student groups.

Excellent teachers who are focused on the whole child. A small school with a strong community vibe. Been here two years and have been very happy.
