Hay Branch Elementary School

Posted: January 8, 2026

My experience at this school was terrible. It’s my daughter’s first year at an elementary school due to her being in Pre K, and this school sucked so bad! They give them sack breakfast and sack “dinner” after school. My kid never got recess. Her teacher was always gone without updating parents as to why or what is going on. This school is like a prison. I wish it was on the list to get shut down.

Bullying happens when you don't pay attention to your students especially when the child raises his hand to speak and the reply not now

This is our second year with this school. My daughter was bullied last year and all year I was lied to about what was being done, which was actually nothing. I thought this year would be better with some new teachers and a new principal but the bullying continues and when they investigate it was always an "accident" though the bully has repeated incidents with several different students. My kids will be moved to another school.

For the second year in a row my daughter is being bullied. This is by far the worst school she has been to. The boy has tore up her shoes, threatened her, raised a hand to slap her which the teacher saw, and today hits her on her head! Whats worse is the teacher got onto her! I mean common sense look at the history between the 2 and who is always the instigator?

Horrible! The drop off makes some sense but pick up is horrible and there is never a place to park. This is by far the worst school for bullying also. We moved last year and last year she was bullied and this year it continues. Whats worse is the teacher gets onto the kid who is being bullied and not the bully.

We moved into this school zone the last three months of the year. Even though it had low ratings I decided it would be a good chance to see if we liked the school before transferring my child. The staff was nice and my child preformed well academically but their attitude towards bullying was apathetic. I saw children leaving the school in tears on multiple occasions due to bullying. When my child was on the receiving end the administrator I spoke with told me that a lot of the children at this school were a "tougher" sort because of their home life and economic status, and that there was little that could be done about it. I have seen successful anti-bullying programs in other schools, there is no excuse to just tolerate unacceptable behavior. Schools should be teaching children how to treat others with respect especially if they are not learning it at home. School can and should be a positive experience. I hope they are able to make the necessary adjustments to fix this problem.

This started out as a great school. I liked that they informed us about every little thing, but that became annoying quickly. Children are active and they don't always comply but that is what these teachers went to school for! My child has been picked on and bullied and nothing has been done other than suspending her off the bus or putting her in ISS. I will be removing my children after this year because this school upsets me....

Great changes finally happening. Kids love going to school, great teachers, and highly visible principals. New safety measures ensure my kids will be safe and my kids have plenty opportunities for extra help with after school tutoring.

I was highly disappointed with this school this year. The way my child was treated at the school, no child should ever have to deal with. The administration did nothing more than try to cover their own back side during my entire complaint process. I ended up having to withdraw my child from this school and move her elsewhere.
