“My daughter has attended Handley since 2003, the last year they had pre-k there. I have been very happy with her education at this school. Handley was a recognized school in the 2008-2009 school year. As with any school, the best way to get the most out of it, is to be active as a parent. The teachers and the principal are always available to discuss your child's progress. Handley also has a great music program, maybe even better some respects than some of the magnet elementary schools. 4th and 5th graders get world class drumming instruction through a grant, and the music teacher sets up numerous performances through out the district and city not only for the drumming group, but also Honor Choir, and other musical performances.”

“I am very pleased with the newly remodeled school; this is the second year going into the third since the school has been updated. I am pleased with the layout of the school. We have been seeing very dedicated teacher coming to Handley, especially since we have Mr. Jones as principal; he has really made a positive difference in this school. The school is diverse; which is a great quality for everyone. Teachers are diverse ethnically, I like that a lot. The teachers are punctual, they care, the students overall are exciting about going to school here. Priority has been taken to assure children that bullying will not be allowed. This school also has excellent activities promoting family involvement.”

“My child attends Handley Elementary. I am pleased with the current low student-teacher ratio. This is assuming my child's teacher is very motivated. I would like to see more experienced teachers on site. New teachers are terrific, but we also need some solid, mature minds to balance the atmosphere. I am not pleased with the overcrowding at this school. Even though there are low ratios, Handley is overcrowded. Lunchtime is a very disturbing routine. Children hardly have time to eat their food before the class has to move out to allow the next set of classes in for their lunch.”
