Howard L Hall Elementary

"This is by far one of the worst schools in Cumberland County. I sadly am writing this review after unbelievable racism that took place against my fifth grade student by the administrative team more pacifically the principal Miss Macado .If your child is caucasian they are treated completely different by the administrative team there’s lack of urgency for education to take place on campus. My 1st grade went almost 2 months without a teacher her daily instruction was being taught by aids this is not ok. I would recommend you request a voluntary transfer if your address places u at the school."

"I have been in Howard Hall for 5 years. I am a Spanish Immersion teacher and I love the teamwork and family atmosphere in our school!"

"Has a diverse student population and some of the better teachers have been there for years. But there are lots of new teachers, and many have been coming and going over the last 5 or so years. The newish principle is still getting her bearings. They just added a Spanish Immersion Program (all Spanish all day for those kiddos) which is very exciting and these kids will often bring a schools scores up (hmm, wonder why it was brought to this school?). Because of the diversity, the scores tend to be lower then the two other schools just up the road where there is an almost all white middle class attendance. Over all a good, safe school, but not excellent. Could go a long way in expecting academic improvement and holding the parents to a higher standard. A few (very few) of the oldest teachers are set in their ways and make it very hard if your child doesn't fit what they think a gifted student should be. So be aware if your child has an above average intelligence, but is not a "typical" nerdy kid. You won't get the AG classes! But you will get a typical middle of the road North Carolina education."

"My daughter is in the Spanish Immersion Program (K) and I must admit that I have been pleasantly surprised by the education she is receiving at HHES. I was skeptical about Cumberland County Schools in general but so far they are delivering. As a military family we had the option to leave the area this coming year but have chosen to stay because of the opportunities at Howard Hall and the professionalism of the principal and the entire Howard Hall Team."
