"My son studied here for Kindergarten - Rm2, 2011~2012. The teacher was really loving, caring, understanding and amazing. My son got this difficulty in speaking english since he moved a lot from Taiwan and Philippines before coming to US but the teacher did a very great job so that my son will have the knowledge and confidence to speak english. She got a special skill that with her only soft voice, she gained respect and attention from her students. My son missed her teacher a lot but he has to moved to Grade 1. Thanks a lot, ma'am! God bless"

"My Son has joined the Hirsh for KG. Mrs. T* was the teacher. She is amazing. My son has learned a lot and she has put lots of efforts to the kids to learn English and Math. JiJi Math is another plus point where my son come to home and play JiJi Math and learn hard mathematics in an easy way. Overall we are very satisfied with the School and the teacher. The principal is very much involved with students progress.. I highly recommend this school to any one."

"My daughter goes to this school. It is a good school. API scored jumped up significantly in 2010. Principal is very good. Teachers are good as well. There definitely is a room for improvement like anywhere else."

"I agree with the last review of Hirsch. My daughter also experienced similar difficulties with the retired resource teacher and communication between resource and mainstream teacher. The new resource teacher is not much better. She has said some rather insensitive comments about my child. As a teacher myself, I was shocked that a resource teacher would say such things to a parent of a child with special needs. I also agree that the principal is subpar. The teachers are hit or miss. Frankly, my family is actively looking to move away from Hirsch because I feel that an average schoool is not good enough for my child or any other child."

"I have two children who attend Hirsch. I have been disappointed with my son's Resource Teacher, who recently retired and did not put much effort into assisting my son's progress over 4 years. Poor communication between the Resource Teacher and his regular teacher caused more anxiety and several misunderstandings, which were always blamed on my child, not the teacher. The principal also did not support my son's needs. The school has a poor Science and PE curriculum, both not supporting the American lifestyle and struggle of obese children, but also not allowing the children to grow in Science, one of the worlds most growing areas for future careers. One teacher has been absent almost the entire year, and the class has been run by a substitute. The school needs some better teachers:(.."
