My daughter just started school in August. She is in kindergarten and I can say that I really like how things are going so far. I love her teacher Mrs Powell. If I had a question or needed to talk with her about something,m she was there ready to help. I feel that she really is there to help our children learn, she cares alot about her students. Mrs. Owens, teachers assistant, is very nice herself. I really haven't had a chance to speak with the principal yet, but from what I have seen she, too, is a very well rounded person and loves her job also! Overall I think, so far, this is a great school for my daughter to attend. I hope to only be more impressed as time goes on!

My son is in the 5th grade and has always gone to the school. Mrs.Wall is the best thing that has ever happened to Spring Hope Elementary since Donna Carr was principal in 1995 when my older 2 boys were there.I think they have some great staff members and some not so great.People complain about the way some kids act well they need to see the way some of the parents act and you will know why the kids are the way they are.Instead of hanging around the school gossiping and bullying ,put your time to good use and volunteer.I have done this every year and enjoy it a lot . If parents want better for their kids than start with your actions as a parent and if your child gets his/her card moved for not obeying the rules ,Please do not fuss the teacher out.They are not sitting around thinking up things to make up on your child. I do want to Thank Bebe Wall for a great job .

I am satisfied with SHES. The principal and teachers are concerned with the children's education. The tutoring program has enhanced the children to become better students. I like the way they recognize and reward the children for doing a good job. All four of my children have attended SHES, and they really like this school.

I feel SHES is good school. However, there are some problems with administration that need to be addressed immediately. Bebe Wall is an awesome principal who cares deeply for every child in her school and it shows. But the people under her are a different story. I would just like to warn parents that any confidential information you provide to the school about your child is shared with others in the school as gossip. Information is even shared with teachers that have no contact with your child. Parents please also be aware of questionable behavior of the assistant principal. Be sure to document any contact you have with the assistant principal, sometimes your child's best interest is the last concern. Also information about your child maybe documented in their record one way yet presented to you in a different manner, ask for documented proof.

I feel that Spring Hope Elementary has come along way since Mrs. Wall has become principle. But I also think there are still issues that need to be resolved. In becoming the best school and trying to keep up appearance wise the teachers and dtaff have become more leanient as to kids picking on other kids and getting away with it. Excuse me but just because a child doesn't have any raising at home and has a bad home environment does not mean that it is ok to use another child as a punching bag. There have been a few incidents that I am aware of where this has happened and they are being overlooked because of wanting the school to look good and go without having to write up incidents. This is not teaching our children a good example.
