School Reviews
1 10/7/2020
For lack of any better term, absolute dumpster of a school. Charming director great ideas but don't fall into believing that their program can make any of them happen. While they tout a blended program in actuality, it is anything but. Basically, a home-studies school with an on-campus study hall. Textbooks and working material were some same I saw when I student taught in 2007, sacks and stacks of Xerox worksheets, nothing but rote memorization and busy work. Grading was drive-by at best, my daughter had difficulty completing about half of her work yet managed straight A's until we needed a final transcript to leave back to public school. Then it was 3 C's and 2 D's. Need to talk to a teacher? Good luck, as most leave at 2:30 with the students, Email and text communication was sporadic. Zero campus security, students come and go throughout the day, wander around Walmart up the street, walk over to Sanger High, etc. They do indeed have a nice music and art program, while the music teacher is great, art teacher brings his grown son to work who takes questionable pictures with female students (Found a few on my daughters'' phone). My child only attended Hallmark for 6 months before the COVID shutdown. When online education began, we transferred back to FUSD. After that it took about three months with two private tutors to get my child caught up to the point where public school was working the time. I could continue to go on and on, but I will stop here. If you have ANY concern for the quality of your child's education, run as far from this school as you can.
