Roberts Elementary School

As parents of two daughters at Hamlin Elementary School, we are absolutely thrilled with our experience so far. The teachers at Hamlin have truly gone above and beyond in helping our girls flourish academically and personally. Their support and dedication have been instrumental in our daughters' growth and development.Additionally, the administrators at Hamlin have been nothing short of helpful and communicative. They are always available to address any concerns or questions we may have and work tirelessly to ensure a positive and nurturing environment for all students.One aspect that truly sets Hamlin Elementary apart is the loving and caring atmosphere that permeates the entire school. It's evident that this is a community that values kindness, empathy, and support for one another. We have also appreciated the high level of parent involvement, which further strengthens the sense of community within the school.Overall, we are incredibly grateful to be a part of the Hamlin Elementary School family. We wholeheartedly recommend this school to any parent looking for a welcoming, nurturing, and supportive educational environment for their children.

Do not send your Black or Latino student here. Great school district, but they do not want any brown kids who are Latino or Black there. The worst offender was a black faculty member. It covers even athletics. Very sad their motto is "where everyone belongs" , but not for African American or Latino students. I unfortunately have sent 2 there over the past 10 years and it's the same story every time. The only positive experience I can give my child from this is the real world exposure to racism and how to be great in spite of it. Shame on all of you

As a former student I was VERY disappointed how this school treats us students as some objects. The staffs were really mean to students and they did not cared about us. I do NOT recommend this school.

Always has been a gem in downtown Rochester. Diverse population and neighborhood feel. Excellent staff in previous and present years. Huge relief at the recent principal change as the past principal lacked emotional intelligence and was prone to outburst at students and staff. He'd caused quite a shake up. Hopefully things will be smoother with change.

2 years with a student there. both years our son has been bullied by different kids each year. nothing gets done to protect or help our son but the school does make sure to protect and let the bullies keep being. our sons friends are trying to change schools due to this issue. last year it got to the point our son wouldn’t eat unless it was fruit or water at 7 years old from teasing from one student. this year a new student is pushing/dragging/beating on him and his friends and the only action taken was to change bullies seat to which he was moved back next to our son 2 weeks later.sadly it feels like Switizer is a safe haven for bullies not students

Monfort has exceeded my expectations. New principal and office staff this year. Very organized, very engaging caring staff. Special education teachers are amazing. The school uses apps to stay connected to parents. Lots of new activities this year. All around great experience. We will miss all the teachers and staff.
