Hardy elementary school is, at a basic level, meets the minimum requirements to even be categorized as a school itself. The school is underfunded and lacks to give each child attending it basic care or necessities. Although the teachers are nice, the food is horrible. It has no nutritional value or taste, for it is sourced from the middle school's leftovers.
