Hailey Elementary School, home of the Comets, is an exciting learning environment of approximately 488 students from preschool to fifth grade.  Our students are served by a skilled and enthusiastic staff of 23 certified teachers, 15 special services teachers, and a classified support staff of 17 highly trained paraprofessionals.

Our programs range from Gifted and Talented to Dual Immersion.  They include English as a Second Language students as well as special needs students.

All students receive weekly special instruction in Art, Music, Technology, Computer Skills and PE.  Our library maintains over 18,000 books and has a monthly circulation of about 4,000 books, which demonstrates our focus on literacy for all students.

We have a very strong and involved PTA.  Parents can be found volunteering on a daily basis in any capacity that supports the mission and vision of this family-oriented community.
