My daughter has attended Hatfield Elementary since 2017 when she started kindergarten and our experience has been positive, Hatfield promotes an inclusive environment. I've always felt that I could communicate with staff and felt heard. As a parent, you do feel a sense of community and I've always felt my daughter is being challenged academically and is learning subject matter appropriate to her grade level and beyond. I think Hatfield Elementary does and has done an exceptional job of fostering her growth both academically and emotionally and we are grateful for the support we feel and look forward to when our two younger sons will attend.

D'ana Waters drove this school into the ground as the principal. Wes Heinel has continued the trend of bombing performance with his tenure. Both of these inept principals have shown how their lack of leadership and ineffective planning has turned this once budding school into a mere daycare for Hatfield's youth. If you want your children to be educated, Hatfield Elementary is not the choice you want to make. This school deserves zero stars!

Homework is extremely light and pointless. Our children's teacher offer little to no feedback when contacted and choose to follow the mindset of keeping the pace for the slowest child in the class.

Teachers are lazy and inept. The principle is even worse.

Posted: August 26, 2018

Many of the children act as if they have not been raised properly.

D'Ana Waters is incompetent and should be removed from her position. She is ineffective and has no leadership. Her teachers do as they please while she sits idly by.

This school may have done well in the past but has recently taken a turn for the worse. After voicing concerns about my child's remarkably light homework load and speaking to friends and family with children in other schools this school has me really concerned. Our children are not learning nearly as much as other children in the same district and outlying district schools. Although this school holds reading fundraisers quite often the course material that the school suggests is quite rudimentary. We are considering alternative options at this point.

This school is a waste of my son's time! I have spoken to his teacher throughout the school year last year (2016-2017) in order to engage and challenge him. My son is very bright and operates well above his peers and yet his teachers assured me they would give him more work and attention during the day. However, I feel my son has wasted a majority of his time with these people and this school has not motivated him to learn at his capacity. If it weren't for my husband and myself our son would be just another average, bland, mediocre child. This school is more concerned with arts and crafts and social events rather than actual education. We are now looking into private school or the possibility of moving!

The staff is outstanding, everyone knows the students and many try to get to know them. Our principal and staff have gone above and beyond to work on bullying and respectful behavior. As mentioned there are many fun activities both during school and outside of school hours including jammy and super hero day and dances. Overall we love Hatfield.

They have wonderful teachers who love the children very much. The teachers care about them and their well-being too, that's what makes a "great" teacher... the school itself is "fantastic"!!!, they do so many fun things for the students as well my grandson ZACKARY goes to this school and he loves it!. Thank you and keep up the wonderful job you are doing the students...
