I have absolutely LOVED everything about Hartman for my son. His teachers have been fantastic with communication with parents. They build great relationships with the kids. I am very happy with all aspects of Hartman.

Extremely disappointed in the teaching and leadership over the years. There have only been a few good teachers. This is based on a collective ten years at Hartman. I'm guessing that's coming from the top down.

Great experience. We love our child’s teachers esp Ms. Mann due to her dedication and love for the children. I think Grace Hartman should be a model elementary school in the US in terms of their academic curriculum and fostering love of learning for the students. We are blessed to have found this school for our child.

Our children have 9 collective years of classroom experience at Grace Hartman Elementary. Our family has experienced 7 schools in 3 states. One school was an exclusive private school, another was a National Blue Ribbon School. In our experience, Grace Hartman had the largest number of highly professional and dedicated educators. The teachers genuinely care about "the whole student" (academic and personal success). The principal and staff foster an environment of creativity, innovation, and strong relationships. As a result, Hartman is a leader in the district and is a high achiever by many standards.

We moved to this side of Rockwall so our children could attend Hartman. They started their kinder years and are currently in 4th and 5th grade. The administration, teachers and staff are all excellant and they maintain that excellance by continuing their education...bringing new ideas into the classrooms..not just reguritating the same material year after year. I am shocked to see a couple of negative postings here. Come on! A friend of mine pays nearly 15k annually for her child's private elementary education, and she is always commenting our how lucky my kids are to be receiving this standard of education in the public setting. One of the many remarkable things about this school is the parent involvement. And the teacher dedication...they are willing to provide additional support, both before and after school to be certain the children understand the concepts...not just make the required standardized test score. I can't say enough great things about this school...a school where they know your child by name...thank you Hartman!!

I have had two sons that have attended Grace Hartman. One for all six years and the other started in first grade. They are staffed by a group of very caring, dedicated, and professional teachers and administrators. They work hard to educate their students and also to teach them to serve others to make the world a better place.

This is our 2nd year at Grace Hatman and I can not say enough about our experience. My son has challenges that were recognized and diagnosed by this attentive and caring staff! I am so grateful that we moved into such an amazing school district. I also have to add that our PTA does a great job, communication is spot on and they allow you to be as involved as much or as little as you want.
