We have had an exceptional experience at Hamilton. One thing I am certain of every time I drop my child at school is that every teacher, and especially our principal, Dr. Recker, have the utmost intentions for keeping my child safe, respected, heard, and happy. They care deeply for all of the children and truly want the children to not only be the best students they can be, but also the best people they can be. I love this school and couldn’t ask for a better elementary school environment for my child.

This used to be a good school from what I was told. Unfortunately my child has not had a very good experience. The education is average IMO but certain teachers try to push their own agendas on kids and the bullying is out of control.

school is unclean and smells terrible, even when it’s not lunch time. there are a lot of bullies in the school, most of them are girls but a few are guys. staff does not support students’ mental well-being. school starts very early, but luckily the end time’s not that bad. most lessons are boring, there are a few fun ones. not a lot of elective options for 6th grade, but 7th and 8th ones are decent. some classes give too much homework, some are ok

This was by far the biggest disappointment of my child’s educational career thus far. He attended in 2021-2022 for 1 year & it was a nightmare. From having no access inside the school & never seeing his classroom, there was zero parent/family engagement & his teacher was the very WORST. This is that 1 teacher our whole family will never forget! She was old, ready to retire, lacked energy & a genuine “boy hater”. I tried to contact the Director Erin many times throughout that year via phone, voicemail & email and she never responded. This was not worth the $900 a month for preschool & after this experience my son developed horrible separation anxiety & did not develop a curiosity or love of school. So sad, I wish I went into the school & demanded a class/teacher change but I was too afraid to cause problems so early in his schooling. I will never make that mistake again :( I hope Erin Keyser improved her communication skills with parents but this should be the top priority of a preschool director aside from the children. Be very careful to ask all the questions you have and stay on top of everything at this preschool. It was a horrible year for my son & so sad to think back on now that he is
