the teachers, the quality, the resourcess, the process is very very good,the level of education in hawkridge is uncompariable,i cannot ask for anything better
Hawk Ridge is one of the best schools in CMS - hand's down! Next year, it will be near its original capacity - 12-14 mobile units are being removed in June. Hawk Ridge kids also enjoy the perk of being next door to the Morrison Family YMCA where HRE kids take advantage of lots of field space, track, etc.
I can't tell you how awesome this school is in such a small amount of space. We recently attempted a relocation to Nashville, TN and had started private school there. My 3rd grade daughter was ahead in science, social studies and reading at the private school and on par with the rest of the class in other subjects. This private school is tough and she was on track all thanks to the great teachers at Hawk Ridge. We are headed back to Charlotte and will return to Hawk Ridge. Overcrowded? Yes, in a big way, but the kids don't even seem to notice and the staff makes it so seamless. This school is getting overcrowding relief with another new school (Flat Branch)in 2007-2008 and yet another new school (Elon Park) in 2008-2009.
Hawk Ridge is a wonderful school. I have kids attending here since the year it was open and each of them has received a quality education in a safe, warm, and nurturing environment. Yes, it is overcrowded. The staff works very hard to make sure that the students don't feel the effects of this overcrowding. The school has many mobile units that have taken over the green areas of the property but luckily we have a generous YMCA next door where the teachers can take the kids when necessary. Unfortunately the start time has been pushed back to 9:15 for next year with the plans to move it back to the earlier 8:30 start time the following year. This was a Charlotte Mecklenburg School administrative decision and should not reflect negatively on the administration of Hawk Ridge. Overall, Hawk Ridge is an excellent school where children can soar!
