I really love Hawthorne Elementary. The front office staff takes the cake. The teachers are top tier. I was hesitant because I’ve heard schools in lower income areas tend to struggle. I’ve had only good experiences at Hawthorne. I have one kid going into 4th and another going into 1st grade next year (2024-2025) and I’m excited to see how they connect and thrive next year.

Some of the staff is rude and unprofessional.

Pretty much expected in WA state for everyone to talk down to each other. lol but My daughter is being bullied right now by another student and staff is doing nothing about it but "talk to the parents" again. I contacted the principal directly today by email and told him it's the second offense and we want some plan of prevention or disciplinary action. I am waiting to see if this will provide results and will edit this review after the matter is settled. Details: In January the boy yanked my daughter down to the ground by the back of her collar and proceeded to drag her on the ground.This morning, June 2nd, He snuck up behind her while she was in line and punched the back of her head!

If I could give this school a 0 I would. Worst school ever! The staff at this school talks down on you no matter how hard you try your best to take your child to school. They always have a question every time you sign your child in and always want an explanation. My son was bullied multiple times by other students and teachers did nothing about it.

This is a top not school! Staff and administration are excellent. Finding a way for more parent involvement would increase satisfaction even more. I am thoroughly happy with my experience here.

This school has an excellent teachers and staff. The test scores are lower than the state average, but this is mainly due to the fact that English is a second language for many students. Students come from all over the world, not just Latin America and eastern Europe. Many students are even trilingual. This creates a great opportunity to learn about the world. first hand.
