We had so hoped for a better experience with this school and district but will be switching as soon as possible. Like another review said, bullying goes unchecked here by both kids and caretakers in favor of everything being swept under the rug. They'll listen, but there are no real solutions. The grades are combined due to budget constraints and this serves no one. This school does not know what to do with smart kids. It's a bizarre twilight zone we can't wait to exit. If you have an emotionally sensitive or gifted child, do yourself a favor and avoid the Hopkins district. Two stars because we've had a good few teachers who really try to engage as best they can but they have zero support.

Only positive experience! Our child was happy to study at this school! Teachers are true leaders and caring people. They put all their energy into teaching children! The principal of the school greets the children every morning with a smile! This is a real miracle, not a school! Thank you to all teachers and school staff!

Glen Lake is an amazing school and it keeps getting better. The leadership at the school is omnipresent and concerned about every single child who attends. The teachers are outstanding and supportive as well as creative in their styles. The school is also a perfect size, a community sized school where everyone gets to know everyone. We couldn't be happier to be at Glen Lake.

Glen Lake is a great school with good programs. They have a new STEM program in all grade levels, will start teaching Spanish to Kindergarten and 1 st graders this year and expand the program to all grade levels over the next few years. All students have access to the newest technologies including iPads in all classrooms! We love Glen Lake and have met great families. My children feel loved and cared for when they walk in the front doors.

We love Glen Lake Elementary and Hopkins School District! A few highlights include an innovative STEM curriculum, a great chess club, and fabulous staff members. We felt welcomed and included since the first day there. The families at this school are welcoming and down to earth.

My son will be attending his second year at Glen Lake Elementary. We very much love the school and hope the next year will go as good as his first year here.

I have had my kids at Glen Lake for 7 yrs and really love it. The teachers are excellent and there are a lot of programs that give children extra help learning as well as extra challenges for children who need that. The principal and support staff deal with bullying and social issues quickly and respond when necessary to parents. There are many opportunities to become involved as a parent with many school activities and programs. My kids love it. I would highly recommend Glen Lake to anyone.

Horrible experience with a very bright child, bullying goes unchecked. Principal is getting paid to do absolutely nothing of value. This school is riding on the coat tails of it's previous reputation and will come crumbling down eventually. This can be said of the district as well.

We love Glen Lake! The families at this school are wonderful. There are lots of fun events to get to know everyone at. We have had dedicated, caring teachers who work with the individual needs of each student.
