HES is a great community that goes above and beyond to develop the whole child. Students remain active throughout the day, have ample opportunities to get into nature and real world settings and best of all feel safe and part of a community. On any given morning the Principal is standing in the lobby greeting each student by name with high fives and jokes. I was surprised to see the one star and low test ratings as I know the teachers work hard to educate the students and the school goes the extra mile to address individual needs. Your child will not be taught to pass standard tests at this school. They will learn how to be a healthy, intelligent and creative member of society. Close Quote
