Everything about this school is horrible. The teachers are not qualified, especially with special needs. Certified and experience is needed, you can be Certified but not qualified! Bullying is horrible and not taken care of, lack of supervision.

This school gets worse every year! The academic achievement scores continue to fall while no changes are made in the classrooms. Business as usual and let''s just pretend standardized testing results don''t exist seems to be the mission for Hatfield Elementary. Great job staff!
