Parental input is encouraged but not truly listened to or given actual regard.

Caring, talented teachers and remarkable leadership in their principal make this a truly lovely school. You are lucky if you find yourself in this school's neighborhood!

This is how elementary school should be. Each staff member, from the principal to the custodial staff has the best interest of the student in mind. Teachers provide innovative learning solutions without sacrificing the time-tested grit and care that every child needs to succeed. We are so fortunate to have such an amazing school and unbelievable educators!

My son attended here K-6, and my daughter (now in 3rd) has been here since K. This school is incredible! We've had fantastic teachers, including Art, PE, and Music teachers. Both my kids absolutely love this school! My middle schooler enjoys going back to say hi to his teachers. The parent involvement is exceptional, the PTA is very dedicated, and there are great activities in addition to core curriculum. HPE is an English as a Second Language School so that influences test scores some, but my kid's academic experience and overall experience has been terrific!! I feel spoiled and fortunate to have kids attending this school.

Amazing teachers, incredible administration. I don't have any idea what the parent who posted on Sept. 10, 2009, was talking about. If you look at the MAP scores, HPE scored in the top schools in the district in nearly every category. The 6th graders were #1 in the entire district in at least 2 of the disciplines. Furthermore, if you look at the statistics statewide, HPE students have consistently scored in the top 10 in the ENTIRE state in their MAP testing. Unequivocally one of the best schools in the district.
