R. F. Hartman Elementary School

All 3 of my children were educated by Hartman teachers from kindergarten through 4th grade. I couldn't have been more pleased with the education they received. One way I knew that their teachers had really made a difference was when all 3 of my children selected a Hartman teacher to present their high school ring to them. The relationships that were built were meaningful and lasting.

Congratulations R.F. Hartman Elementary and Cool Cat Nation for being selected as a 2017 National Blue Ribbon School! What an accomplishment! #hartmanpride

I am so proud to work with such an amazing group of educators. Every teacher is dedicated to the success of every student in the building. Way to be a National Blue Ribbon school!

The teachers at this school go above and beyond what is expected to reach the students, helping them achieve the best possible. All four of my kids have attended or are attending Hartman. We wouldn't be anywhere else!

I have had my son in Montessori, Christian private school and homeschool before deciding to put him in Hartman. My son was behind on reading, sight words etc. He was all about building, playing and being a typical energetic BOY. I was nervous about Hartman as some of the kids living near us weren't all that nice and would also be going to the school. Turns out Hartman changed our lives. Totally changed the trajectory of my son's academic esteem and his future classes.nnLike every one of us I imagine, we have all experienced the continuum of teachers that we clicked with, excelled with their help and we've had some we didn't care for so much. That's real life. I can't imagine an industry that doesn't have the same continuum of professionals. Not to disrespect any teacher that helped my son, but the one incredible talented professional that truly changed the trajectory was Mrs. Jennifer Cline. She is patient as a saint. If she made money for all the times she redirected my son and his focus she'd could probably retire. :) She has incredible people skills. She was gentle and kind in delivering the information to me that my son might benefit from some learning disability testing. That was hard (for me to hear). But she was really amazing. I agreed to it, we identified an issue and agreed to two 504 accommodations that made ALL the difference. It was through that we learned that my son exceeded the markers in testing and he has been in honor's classes since. My son has been in honors reading since! He is now in 7th and I genuinely could not thank this incredible teacher for the work she does with the students and her skills with the parents. You ARE amazing. We've saved all your sweet notes Mrs. Cline! :)nnI can't say enough about this school as a whole. At the time my son attended, it served the lowest socioeconomic area of Wylie. This brings much higher stats and turnovers in teaching and kids going to school without breakfast and proper nutrition, sleeping, parenting. BUT Hartman is far beyond being that kind of statistics with some teachers being there over 20 years. Truly an amazing school. And they are lucky to have Mrs. Cline! :)
