Graduation, plays, concerts etc. are either in the cafeteria or outside. Cafeteria is nice but many people end up standing. Not enough seats. Too bad our anti-educational governor Slick Rick Scott can't send some money this way to ensure all schools have adequate facilities for the students, faculty, and visitors/parents.

My only complaint (and it's not the schools fault) is they do not have an auditorium. For concerts, plays, graduation, etc. they have to go to River Ridge or Hudson High (one of the few area schools that have an indoor gymnasium. This symptomatic problem I attach to our long standing governor "Slick Rick" and his pals who put little emphasis on education and certainly not enough $$& towards adequate school facilities. Almost 250 eight graders graduated and no indoor gym or auditorium of their own. I grew up in a middle school in NY state and only had thirty kids per grade. We had a music room and an indoor gymnasium that doubled for a theater for plays, graduation, etc. Florida is woefully behind. Focus should be more on the young not greedy old people that have lived their lives already. Anyway, Kudos to HMS for running a tight (but fun and engaging) ship!

Kids go through bullying and the staff and principal are not helpful when it comes to that kind of situation. Also your child is set up to fail! My daughter made D's and F's for 3 years straight. No matter If she turned in all of her homework or school work the grades never changed they even went far as putting her on a IEP. I pulled her and put her in private school and my daughter never needed the IEP not to mention she is now making A's and B's, never made a grade as low as a C since she has been removed.

Very disappointed with this establishment, on my daughters very first day they called her mother…read moresaying that our daughter was crying and that they couldn't get her to calm down so she ended up calling me to let me know because she was working and I called them immediately to see what was going on. I tried to explain that when she gets upset sometimes she makes herself throw up because she gets so emotional and they said that was what she was doing because it was nap time and she didn't want to take a nap. I tried to explain that she hadn't been in a daycare in almost a year and it would take some time to adjust and the lady rudely said with a very sassy attitude "well that's why I called to see what I could do to get her to calm down" so I asked to speak to my daughter and then she said that she didn't want me to speak to her because she was calmed down and thought she would start crying again if I spoke to her. I just didn't understand why they didn't start the conversation off with that instead of leading me to believe that she was still crying. I kind of got the vibe right then that this place wasn't going to work out. Of course I ended up picking her up right after I got off the phone with them and I figured maybe I was overreacting and give it one more chance then the next day they sent home a note saying that she was having a hard time listening. Then the day after that my daughter came home and said that the teacher hit her in the face. I didn't see a mark but Madelyn "my daughters mother" said that they were acting very weird when she came in to pick her up and that as soon as they got in the car my daughter said that the teacher hit her in the face. All night we kept asking her over and over and she kept saying the same exact thing until the end of the night she said that the teacher said it was an accident so we really didn't know what to think but we figured something happened but they obviously weren't going to say anything about it. The next day I brought her in just to see how everyone was acting and they were pretty nice as I figured they would be if anything had happened and I walked her to the section of the kids her age she had been going to and told her to listen but told her ahead of time to make sure if anything happened again to tell the teacher that she was going to tell me if they touched her in any inappropriate way and that I would call the police on them. That very day when Madelyn went to pick her up they ended up switching her teacher to another teacher and basically put her with different kids and they also tried saying that she was causing problems and they were going to kick her out of the daycare. This pretty much confirmed that something had happened and they were trying to cover themselves. I would definitely not recommend this place for your child please pick somewhere safer. They are not friendly at all or a family oriented facility like I've read in some of the other posts and they are definitely not a family oriented establishment. Someone from their establishment or friends of theirs must have made those posts to make them look good. All of this happened in not even a week and the following Monday they ended up calling me before noon and I had to pick her up again and decided not to bring her back and they made it seem as if they kicked her out and charged us for that full week.
