"I think Hewes is a great school! Classes are very informational, and most teachers incorporate some fun into lessons. If we don't understand anything, teachers are always willing to put their time in to help us. We do get a lot of homework, but most of the time, we are given class time to complete them. I take a long time doing homework, but mostly because I procrastinate and get distracted easily. Last year, rules on homework were very strict. If you missed a homework assignment, intervention, NOT detention, as stated in other reviews, was assigned. Interventions were either during recess or lunch, and we were allowed to eat a snack or lunch during it. Now, interventions have been removed, and we just don't get full credit for missing homework, but getting 2 missed assignments will result in a detention. Some other reviews were complaining about the no cell-phone policy. I think that it's a reasonable rule because there is no way to learn while texting on your phone. Teachers sometimes use them because they have to, and they know how to restrict themselves. Overall, Hewes is a fabulous school! 1 thing I'd like to see is more student leadership positions like president, etc."

"I agree with the student comment about negative consequences. I have older kids that went to Hewes. I think the culture and environment has changed a lot since they implemented the no grace policy they now have. The kids might conform to avoid punishment, but they loose some of the joy of learning."

"I am attending this school currently and, i think that they do not give us enough freedom. The rules are to strict. If you miss one assignment, you get detention. I do not think this is fair at all.Other than that, it is a great school with a great educational program"

"This school is alright, however they could lo9wer their prices on foods easily!!! $2.50 For 1 slice of pizza! and $1.25 For a gatorade bottle half the size of the $0.50 Ones at the market. Besides the prices, the only other problem is how badly students are treated. A detention is assigned for every missed assignment, and my child cant even get lunch sometimes if he has lunch detention. Not only that but they give students almost no rights. They can confiscate your cell phone for using it at all but the teachers disrupt the class all of the time to answer cell phone calls. It is a joke!!"

"Strong Science and Social Studies programs. Average reading program. Weak writing and math programs. You'll have to supplement starting in 6th grade in order for your student to be ready for any high school honors program."
