Hawes is the best-kept secret in Ridgewood. It is a very diverse and welcoming place – a real asset for Ridgewood.
Will we be seeing an influx of families from Willard to Hawes any time soon?
So much for being prestigious.
If only we paid our teachers more. I demand doubling of all salaries immediately!
Wow.. people like 452 whining in anonymity of course… I see it as a job well done… The elementary schools here do an excellent job… as well as the middle schools and high school….
Agree with Jane Shinozuka. Hawes is awesome.
