Agnor-Hurt Elementary School

Posted May 19, 2009

I have been very happy and impressed with Agnor Hurt. My son transferred into the third grade last year. I was blown away with how they received him. He was put in the gifted category and the new gifted and technology teacher is great match for him. They are learning all kinds of innovative ways to gain understanding of their topics and the world, like using powerpoint and making documentaries. The new gifted and talented teacher is broadening his classes next year. The music program is also excellent. This year they offered afterschool programs and one of them is a music club that my son really loves. I love the PTO and think the principal is one of the most impressive women I have ever met. They just got approved to be an International Baccalaureate School, one of two in the region. If you are considering this school, please go visit.

My son has attended Agnor Hurt for two years now, Kindergarten and First grade. Ms. Orshoski was his teacher for both years and I have see such an improvement in his confidence and abilities, he hardly seems like the same child. She is an excellent teacher and brings out the best in her students. Additionally, all of my son's teachers care for him individually, and know him well. I have been impressed with his outcomes and the individual attention he receives in order to attain goals that we all participated in making. This is what counts to me.

We moved out of Agnor-Hurt to another school district for several reasons. We weren't happy with the the curriculum and we had communication problems with the teacher. More importantly, we were unhappy with how some discipline problems were handled. This was a repeated problem for us. We also wanted our kids to learn Spanish and heard that they would, but the program never really taught them anything. (To be fair, we have other friends in other districts with the same complaint.) Mostly, it was not a good fit for us and we are happier at our new school.

2007 - 2008 was our first year at Agnor-Hurt Elementary with our son in Kindergarten. We were impressed and pleased with our son's experiences. My husband and I felt fortunate to have been given the opportunity to participate in Samuel's educational experiences, including classroom events and field trips. The teachers quickly earned our respect and confidence - from homeroom to music, physical education and art. We were impressed by Principle Michele Del Gallo's vision and leadership to provide a caring and supportive environment to facilitate the learning and growth of the children. We are looking forward to 2008 - 2009 at Agnor-Hurt Elementary. Ted and Laura Knotts
