The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have twins in the 1st Grade at HES. They started attending there in Pre-K. We LOVE this little school. My kids love all of the faculty and feel safe there. The teachers and faculty keep me updated on things going on with my kids. All the faculty try to help the kids succeed.

The teachers are awful so unorganized just there for a check my son has been going there for a couple of years. That school has been through three principles since he has starting. I'm really hoping with the new principal things will turnaround if not he's going to another school

I love little Hatton Elementary. I have twins in the 2nd Grade there and they love to go to school at HES. All of the teachers have been so kind and the principal is so sweet. She has the school looking so good since she began.
