Hidden Oaks Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2008-08-15 “The teachers at Hidden Oaks are awesome and have such amazing talents. My sons have had good teachers but the principal and assistant principal both lack the extra touch that an elementary school needs. This school seems to worry about scores more than the actual needs of the children. If they focused on the needs of every individual child, the school wouldn't have went down to a 'B' rating for the 07-08 school year. My opinion is that the principal needs to be replaced with one that can provide guidance and relationships with parents, children and his own staff. His communication skills with parents and staff needs major improving. If you send your child to this school, keep in touch with the teacher and principal often to make sure your child doesn't fall through the cracks.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2008-06-25 “Ever since the new principal started I feel that communication between the school and the parents has been extremely lacking. I feel that at time the principal is more interested in the rules then the needs of the students. He is paying more attention to the special needs students because they bring in more money then the regular students. Teachers try very hard to teach the students but are severly limited to material because of no attention from the administrative staff.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2008-06-20 “I really miss the old principal, she used to take action!. Lately my daughter had bullying problems and the new principal and teacher did nothing about it. It was not like that before. Other schools in Orange County have much better anti-bullying policies. With my son, different story: he has learning dissabilities and I can see how the school tries to do as little as possible to help her. Services are kept to a minimal and I have to beg for them.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-04-08 “I'm very happy with the Schools. My son is in Kindergarden and Mrs. Miller is an outstanding teacher. She's very good at communicating with the parents when needed. Her teaching teachniques are very good. I would definitely recomend Hidden Oaks Elementary to people around the area as one of the best schools in Palm Beach County.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-09-28 “I have nothing but positive things to say about Hidden Oaks. Mr. Storch is a great principal. All of the teachers that my son has had have been nothing but helpful and all have gone out of there way to always maintain communication with me regarding my son. Though I have heard alot about overcrowding here, I feel that the residents here in Orlando really do not know much about overcrowding. I come from California where they are seriously overcrowded. When the students are put on a three track system A, B, and C and alternate the months that they come in to school , that my dear friends is overcrowded schools. I love the structure that is set is for pick up is wonderful. I hope that my son is able to continue and complete his education at Hidden Oaks.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-02-12 “This school is a perfect elementary school.When you are picking up your child up after school,all the kids are waiting patiently.And it's well organized.The new principal that they have dosen't even pay attention to the kids of Hidden Oakes.Some of the teachers at Hidden oaks make me fell good about letting my child come to this school.And some of the teachers make me feel bad.I had to call the school six times just to try to solve a issue my son is having.The school can be quite okay because the teachers teach them quite good.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-08-28 “Overall Hidden Oaks is an excellent school. All the teachers my children have had have been wonderful - especially Mrs. Johannsen. I am disappointed there is no band program but the chorus teacher is great. The Principal's Award and Student of the Month Awards give the kids something to look forward to and encourage and reward good behavior. The safety patrol program is great as it teaches the children responsibility. The worst problem I see is lack of funding. Parents are buying too many items for the classroom (paper towels, lysol, antibacterial hand lotions, etc.) and they are adding portables as there will be overcrowded classrooms until Vista Lakes Elementary is completed. I believe that if a student wants to learn they will receive an excellent education here and they will have fun doing it.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2005-07-13 “While I felt that the personal at the school were very nice, I felt that the school was completely over crowded and a teacher told me that it was my fault that my daughter wasn't learning anything, as I had brought her to the school after the FCAT. I will do everything I can to make sure my children do not attend this school next year.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-07-06 “My daughter has attended this school since 1st grade. The principal was great. She addressed problems quickly and made it her business to know all the students names and their parents. You could tell that the teachers respected her and the value of team work was evident in the overall culture of the school. Unfortuanately, the principal retired. The new principal does not address issues quickly, I had to call him four times to get a response to an issue my daughter was experiencing in the classroom. The school culture has changed. No longer do the teachers seem content. The climate of teamwork has faded away replaced with one of distrust and confrontation. If you are new to the school - you'll be fine. You won't know what you are missing. In contrast to other schools - the school is Okay.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-04-24 “this school has wonderful parent and teacher involvement. I am very happy with the overall academics success of this school. their fcat scores are good. I have three children that attend and they love it. my only concern is the overcrowding issuses. my children only have 20 mins. for lunch.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-04-10 “My son started kindergarten this year and has had a very good positive response to Hidden oaks. He loves his school and his teacher. He has learned a lot in his first year and we as a family are very pleased.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2004-09-09 “My children were former students of Hidden Oaks Elementary. My older child teacher was average. The school did the minimal requirements for his special needs and he made no academic growth during his year there. My younger child had a teacher I felt treated him poorly from the start. The administration did not respond to my concerns and refused a change in his teacher. My younger child regressed in academics and developed behavior problems. The school was very slow in communicating behavioral concerns with me. Both of my children are now extremely successsful at another school. They are both learning disabled and now they are two or more years ahead in reading and math skills. Although my younger child still has difficulty trusting teachers, his behavior issues have almost disapeared.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-05-25 “My experience at Hidden Oaks Elementary was an excellent one. Both my children attended this elementary school since the year 2000. I always felt very confortable with the schools educators and employees. They are a very proud school which focus not only in education but in training our kids to be very respectful and well mannered.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2004-04-27 “Hidden Oaks has a very active PTO and great teachers. The gifted program for the area is there as well. We're really happy with the education our kids are receiving there.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2003-12-08 “My daughter who is now in the 8th grade attended this school until the summer of her 3rd grade before we relocated. The teachers at this school was awesome and I feel like some of them have helped make her what she is today.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2003-10-25 “To all you parents of 'exceptional students' This is a great school for your child! Very involved teachers,therapists,and administation. A very welcoming atmosphere for our 'Special kids'” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2003-10-01 “Both my children have attended this school since Pre-K and you could not ask for better teachers and staff. I feel the employees care for the children as if they were their own and that gives me great peace of mind as I drop my children off everyday. Thank you Hidden Oaks Staff. You're the best!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2003-07-15 “Could not ask for a better school. Small class size, excellent teachers and administrators.”
