The office staff and the savanna school district are very unprofessional. My daughter had gone to hansen since 3rd grade and we made a temporary move the lat week of the school year for 3 months. The school where we moved was still in session so I enrolled her for the 1 month they were still attending and then we moved back to our same house where we lived our whole life and then they wouldnt let me enroll her without provdiing several forms of proof of residency and getting district approval because she has an IEP. By law only 1 form of documentation is needed. When I confronted the person who was requiring this from me she denied ever saying it and passed me off to the director who when I told him the problem he said well she said its not true and then he brushed it off and was completely rude to me not even acknowledging my problem with this other teacher. he was cutting me off and raising his voice and demanding the documentation. He was hostile and unprofessional. I was unable to enroll my child at that time at her school she had been going to for the last 3 years and I am currently in process of taking my complaint up the chain of command until something is done for the unfair treatment me and my daughter received.

My son is 8-years old, he has been going to Hansen since he was 4-years in kindergarten. The teachers really care about their students and the principal Mrs. Wyatt is awesome with the kids as well. I highly recommend this school .

We just moved into a new home so we had to transfer school districts. The school district that my children attended before was pretty good. I did notice that since they both attended this new school they both learned a lot more. I was really suprised... the teachers are really involved.

I have never seen a school that thinks the kids being robots is a positive thing before, but one teacher told me they need to do that robotic thing they do . This staff is so interested in how things look they forget to worry about how things actually are. The summer program is run by uncredentialed, unpaid teachers, but parents are not informed of this. In addition the textbook s for summer After the Bell is not written to match California s state standards, so what is the point. The program is a joke. The uncredentialed teachers are working hard to teach other states standards and things that won t even be on the test! The kids are the ones suffering. This school may have five stars on here, but only because it looks good but in reality that s all they do is look good. Very little real teaching or learning ever goes on in this school, summer or not. Just kids robotically repeating objectives and standards that are not even tested in California.
