GreatSchools Rating
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.

My first child attended this school and I can't rave enough about it. From the staff, parents, and administrators. We love it so much we enrolled our second child here.

I have just finished my third year being a para professional at Hutchens. All three of my children went through Hutchens and I served as room mom and on the PTA board for nine years. I can confidently say that the dedication to the students success has always been a driving force in this school. The community that Hutchens is part of and has helped create, is welcoming, friendly, loving, and safe. I can not be more grateful for Hutchens Elementary.

The teachers at Hutchens are very friendly, easy to work with, and loved by their students. The administration goes out of their way to communicate goals and insurers all students have an activity to participate in.

The principal and the school board care more about uniforms and test scores thank the actual learning. There are some great teachers that are weighed down by the bureaucracy of ineffective materials (common core) and uniforms. The color of the shirt, sock or sweater has no bearing on the degree of l...
