This school has best experience for me. The teachers are very supportive and my kids love going to school. They also love their Principal. They have so many events for the students all year long!

When you go to pick up your student be prepared to be dejected, because they have literally no place to park. And the vehicle pickup line wraps around all 4 sides of the building. Parents fight for position in this God awful line so they sit outside in their cars starting at about 2pm. Be prepared to be threatened if you ask too many questions. The principal will threaten and bully parents. I regret my kid going to this school.

We are in the Two-Way Dual Language Program and find the program and teachers to be outstanding! The administration - Principal Castillo-Vela is wonderful, she has worked hard for our school and continues to implement innovative programs for all the students! Highly recommend Hotchkiss. The school is PK-8th, with 6th-8th being an honors program.

I don't like this school at all they have no type of security at all the teachers do not pay attention to the students after school all parents can grab any kid and walk away with them there is no control what so ever is like a mad house in there not to talk about most of the staff are so rude I have to stick to it since is the school that my address belongs to but I'll make sure next year to move my kids to a better district. I am sure about I do not feel comfortable to live my children there at all....

I like the school because it has helped my daughter with her self esteem. The teachers are very informative during PT meetings. The principal is a sweetheart. The reason why I only gave it 3 stars is because once my daughter didn't get off the bus at our apartments. so she got off at the next complex and I had to go look for her and she was walking home all by herself (age 6). I really think the driver should have paid more attention.

My son started Kg and since I lived in the neighborhood, decided to send him to Hotchkiss. Things started off rocky with his teacher leaving then the teacher-bonus pay back issue, after that, things settled down. The school hired 2 Kg teachers and both are great teachers (kuddos to hiring them). My son loves his teacher and is on the right education track thanks to her. I will be sad when this year is over-his first grade teacher will have big shoes to fill-but hopefully my 3 yr old daughter will get the same Kg teacher in a couple of years.

This is my sons first year at this school and it began terribly. My son had a substitute teacher the first day of school and he didn't get a permanent teacher until the 5th week of school. For the first couple of weeks of school they had a system of wristbands that made teachers aware of the students who rode the his after school as well as which bus the students are to ride. I always drop my 5 yr old off as well as pick him up. I went to go pick my son up Thursday of the first week of school and he wasn't there. When I asked a teacher where he was they said they'd put him on the bus. I was beyond upset. They called the bus driver and had him bring my son back to the school. When he got on the bus he had NO
