Doris Hancock Elementary School

Posted April 29, 2009

My son goes to school at Hancock Elementary. I am very impressed with family night activities here. The staff goes out of their way to try to include parents in the school. As for my son's education, the teachers that he has had have used differentiated instruction. (They had to explained to me what that means....) That means they are teaching my son at his level and closely monitor his level to make sure he is learning at his instructional level (not his independent level or frustrational level). They do this for every child in the classroom!!! In fact, his teachers have been very good at explaining what occurs in the classroom and how well my son is progressing. I am very impressed with this school and plan to make sure he stays until 5th grade.

I went to this school for 5 years, and I absolutely loved it. The teachers were great, the classes were interesting and everything about it was awesome. If only this school went up to 12th grade. Even though I have already graduated from high school, I really loved this school.

My son attended this school for kindergarten and there is no way he or any of my other children will ever attend this school again. The office staff are not helpful, his teacher was not supportive of his ability to read, and there was terrible school to home communication. My phone calls were never returned and newsletters were infrequent and most of the time late. Many times we missed school events because they had already occurred by the time we received any information regarding them or the teacher would tell us the day before and we had scheduling conflicts. It is a poorly managed school with teachers who are more interested in their personal lives than with educating their students. I hope this experience isn't indicative of the public school system here in Las Vegas or we will be looking at private schools.
