What school district is Ruahmah J Hutchings Elementary School part of?
I love Hutchings Elementary and am very pleased with my daughters teachers this year. I feel they are very progressive in their teachings and it is a clean and beautiful environment. The principal, John Clay is very active with the children and they all adore him.. My only complaint, and I feel it is a big concern and issue with most parents I talk to at this school is the number of students per teacher. I see on most school websites and school information sites that it shows that it is a 20-22 to 1 teacher ratio but that is incorrect. All the classes I am familiar with including my daughters, has 26 - 30 children to 1 teacher. In some districts this would call for a full time aid, but not here. I feel it is unfortunate for a lot of students who may need more attention than this allows for. How is a teacher able to do a good job and give the attention needed when there are that many students. And also when a class has more than a few children with attention disorders or other special needs in a class like my daughters, even less attention is given to the average and above average students. A few hours of an aid help a week does not help much with this many students. Parents try and help out as much as possible here and it is very accepted and appreciated by most teachers and staff. I am concerned about having my children continue on here if the student/teacher ratio does not change though.
