Hughes Road Elementary School

Excellent school. Teachers and principal very focused on student growth and performance

Continuous discipline issues and poorly-behaved kids distracting from learning environment for the good kids. Bullies, assaults, yelling teachers. My 3rd grader and 2nd grader have been attacked multiple times. Daughter came home with a black eye from a boy and another boy choked her and covered her mouth. The administration and staff has been pleasant, but my kids hate this school and it is affecting their confidence and education.

I would not recommend this school. My child is in second grade and has not had one day of recess. The principle does an extremely poor job of dealing with discipline problems. There is very little parental involvement. Good teachers but very poor learning environment.

Very disappointed by the decision to count music class as meeting the Physical education requirements - limiting the PE available. They also limited the opportunities for recess - My 2nd grader recieved a total of 6 for the school year 2009-2010 Aug to May 1st. Aslo real lack of communication with parents.
