Hooper Alexander Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-05-17 “My child has been apart of DESA @ Hooper going on 4 years now, she will start 4th grade on this August. I am happy and pleased with the school, both the principal/assistant principals are wonderful. With the exception of maybe two teachers out of the entire school the teachers are helpful, nice, friendly and caring. But, what school doesn't have at least 1 bad seed (teacher). The Arts department is great as well, the dance teachers and drama teachers are amazing. Test scores at this school for the last three years have ranked in at least the top 4 out of all dekalb county Elementary schools. I personally think this speaks for it's self about the school, high test scores that excel most of Dekalb County other schools. Parent involvement is lacking a lot, and I think with more parent involvement the school will has the potential to become even better. My child will continue on through 7th grade and go on Dekalb of the Arts High School.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-04-21 “This is the conclusion of my students' first year at DESA; and it is one of the more impressive programs in DeKalb County. The principal, asst. principal, and counselor are always readily available each morning and afternoon when I walk in to drop off and pick up my children. As I walk down the halls each day, I greet everyone I pass; and receive the same in return. The delivery of the curriculum is outstanding (thanks Mr. DeHart, Mrs. Robinson, and Mr. Hall); and the performance arts program and their teachers help to motivate my children to excel and identify alternatives goals in their lives. The school is wonderful, the test results are great; and with any other school, parental involvement makes the difference.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-04-17 “My daughter is a Kindergartner is now the first/second best reader in her class and she is now subtracting and adding.This is excellent and committed teaching. It is a performing arts school, my daughter is an excellent dancer now, in her recitial she did not miss a step. The school seems to have unique record keeping as it involves excused and unexcused absences. It appears that they are making up policies based on who you are. Despite the fact that the recording a parent receives, says call in and provide an explanation for your childs absence, a written note, call or obituary is not enough for 'some' individuals to get an absence excused. 'Mystery Meat' Thank God my child's absences were legitimate and documented.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2005-11-22 “I am not to fond of this school. I do not get a warm and fuzzy feeling about this school. The teachers do not appear to be as friendly as some other schools in the dekalb county area. I believe much work is needed in the area of Administration, Teacher, and Parent relationships.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2005-07-20 “I feel okay but not thrilled with my childs progress at Hooper. The teachers, faculty and staff are pretty snooty acting and rude as a whole. I experienced on more than ten occasions visiting the school, speaking to a staff or office employee and not getting a response. I hope this year can be better because I plan on bringing this issue up at every meeting I can attend.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-10-17 “Dekalb Elementary Elementary School of the Arts@ Hooper Alexander is an excellent school. The school has received various award recognition for Academic and Artistic achievement. Many of the students are in the Gifted program. A host of students have performed Nationwide. The BETA club has been ranked # 1 and #2 in the last two years. The parental involvement is a true factor in the SUCCESS rate of this school. Communicating with the teachers and administration is rewarding for both the students and the parents. I love the school I have two children that were accepted into the program. My childen love the school. They are Drama and Piano majors. They have performed in various school and community plays.”
