I am in love with this school. My 3 girls have been attending West Hoke Elementary School since 2009. I fell in love with its family atmosphere. The principals have changed and although it may have been for the better. Even the previous principal gave me an at home feeling. I also truly appreciate the new principal. She has made my children feel apart of the family. Walking into the school and being known by your first name is special. She gives them hugs as well as encouraging words. I have met some awesome teachers over the years as well. I am proud to be a parent that has a student at West Hoke Elementary. They are a community inside those walls. They are full of love. Everyday won't be sunshine, but you can be sure they will work with the parent to come up with a positive outcome for all involved. My girls will be graduating this year and I am sorry to be leaving such an awesome school!

I was nervous enrolling my children but I am so happy they are students at this school! The teachers and the staff are great. Ms. McNeill, the principal, calls every child there her baby and knows them all by name. The teachers really care about their students and work hard to involve parents. The PTA rocks too! I've heard lots of negative things about the school's past, but things sure seem to have turned around for the better. I'd definitely recommend this school. Don't let the old negative reviews fool you!!

I just recently moved to this school district and when i first walk into this school it look run down and alilttle old but when i enrolled my child in this school it grew on me little by little it is getting redone and i just love the staff they are nice and understanding. My child really likes this school and her teacher is awesome, My child was nervous and scared to attend a public school but the asst. principle made my child feel confident and even introduced my child to her class and teacher. When it was time for her first day of school there she was so excited and had a wonderful day. Thank You Hoke Staff for being so understanding. BTW i have never met the principle.

I was appalled when I heard that this school confiscated a student's lunch because of "unhealthy" food. When does the government have the right to overstep a parent's right? The student was given "synthetic" chicken nuggets. What is better? Natural vs Synthetic. This school should apologize to that parent and stay out of the parental domain. The mission of a school is to teach the basic R's and not to promote a liberal agenda of the current administration.

What a joke HOKE is Nationwide. To have a little pre-k student being traumatized by having her lunch "inspected" by a GOVERNMENT AGENT...and then being told, "your Mom made you a bad lunch." A Turkey and Cheese Sandwich, Chips, a banana and apple juice...OMG, with all the kids could have a lunch as healthy. What a JOKE the school is.....wait, HOKE does rhyme with JOKE. Funny thing, the inspection isn't being done anywhere else......OMG, WHAT A JOKE HOKE IS NATIONWIDE. SHAME ON YOU!!!

Pretty good school. Secretary Sebelius's agents inspecting pre-schooler lunches for unapproved lunch contraband is an excellent service provided at this school. I heard some kids were bringing unapproved bananas to school and they were rightly confiscated. The gaw of some parents to send a carb-rich fruit for preschoolers to eat is beyond me. Don't the parents realize that school nutritionists have developed a synthetic chicken nugget with all the good things a growing kid needs? This school has your child's best interests in mind

My son attended the More at Four program during the 2008-2009 school year here. His teacher and teacher's aid were WONDERFUL. That being said, the principal is a rude, unfriendly person and there are other office personnel who are equally off-putting. I have had my son reassigned last year and this year to another elementary and we are much happier there.

We pcs'd here from Maryland due to the Army and this was my daughters first year at West Hoke Elementary in Pre-K. It was a great year full of learning, fun and excitement for her as her teachers were excellent and kept an open floor for communication from both sides. My daughters Pre-K graduation was good as we are proud of her and she was happy of her accomplishments. I must say that this school year was great and hope to have the next 5 years at the school to be wonderful!!
