Why do you love Horace Mann Elementary School? The teachers are wonderful and there is a lot of parental involvement.
We're new to the school this year, but I like the strong parent involvement. My son enjoys his days at school and is excited to attend Horace Mann Elementary!
My son has had a great first year at HMS. Not only has he learned the basic skills required, but he's also learned how to be a respectful and caring community member. With such a diverse population all around us, it is so important to learn to appreciate and care about others, no matter their background. The teachers at Horace Mann nurture these important life skills. Also, the implementation of the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program's Inquiry-based learning has provided much needed context to the basic skills my son is learning in his class. He has become much more aware of the world around him as a result of this style of teaching and is coming to understand the interconnectedness of the various subjects. Also, Horace Mann's foundation and parent association is providing much needed financial and volunteer support that is going to be key in any great school in California.
I have two children that attend this school. My son has been doing well and has had for the most part good teachers. Now my other boy, is a different story. He has a learning disability and the school has made it impossible for my child to get tested for learning disabilities (others than the one he already has). I am very dissapointed in the way my son and I have been treated by the staff (including principal) at this school. This is an okay school if you have a child that is perfect or almost perfect and never has any issues. However, if you have a child that needs a little extra help or has any type of learning disabilities then this is not the school you want to take your child to. They will not help you in any way or manner.
