This is a great school, however I do think that parents need to be more involved. My child never had homework and at the end of the school year when he was bringing his school work home From the school year he was bringing empty workbooks home. I have no clue what was going on in the classroom. No clue on what he was learning. I have noticed that the teacher vibe is off. Teachers don’t seem happy to be there. There are not that many school events. It seems like teachers don’t want to give more time other than what is on their contracts. Basically they’re just there for the paycheck. Now that may not be all teachers but that’s the vibe I get from most of them.

This is my 4th year as a parent at Hafen. I have 3 children currently enrolled. Grades 3rd, 2nd and Pre K. All of there teachers and office staff has been Awesome. My kids love getting to do steam, p.e, technology, going to the library, ect. I never had any of that as a kid in elementary school. Aside from a little bullying my kids love this school. Really the only problem is some other parents. LOL.

My daughter has been attending Hafen Elementary for 2 years now. This school has been fantastic with her. She does have a few little learning disabilities and trouble with focusing. But her teachers have been great and her special ed teacher works with her often and she has made great improvements. Her teacher Ms. Presgrove goes above and beyond what she is required to do as a teacher. She does additional testing with her students not just the state recommended tests so that you can get a better more detailed look at what your child excels in and has trouble with. I couldn't be more pleased. My husband and I bought our house in this district just so our kids go attend Hafen and I haven't regretted it at all.

Great school, great staff. The school is the top performing school in Nye County and is in the top 30% (ranked 90 out of 318) in the state of Nevada according to CRT scores.

My son has ADHD and instead of being assisted, they suspended him three times in the first month of school. The teacher was incapable of showing any compassion . She could not teach a child who prefers to stand at his desk. VERY intolerant of a child with differences. NO special ed classroom. Get a variance to floyd elementary before the school year starts to avoid the heartache and headache we experienced.

This school was a failure for my niece. This school is not ready or able to deal with children with ADHD. Our niece was shuffled to the back of the room and largely ignored by her teachers. She was not sent home with books or homework. As a consequence she is two grade levels behind. She is eager and excited to learn.
