Hamilton Elementary Community Ed.

For the amount of tuition paid to this school, they should have: up to date technology where children have their own computers and not have to go to the computer lab that has broken computers, a decent playground area for children, where the equipment is not broken, maintenance staff for cleaning, and a real administrative staff. No gym equipment for children during PE. There is no programs included in the tuition as advertised on the website, these are outsourced programs that are additional paid outside of the tuition. There are 2 grade levels in each in classroom. I was proud of my child going to an all black school, but it really lacked and did not meet up to what we were paying every month at all. Very overpriced. The one good thing that I can say is my child gained more discipline in his learning, but that was due to the excellent teacher that will not be returning. Then had the nerve to increase the cost for the next year. Please, I did not bring my child back the following year. Mr Wilson you could do better.

The teachers really care about students and the students are challenged academically.

A Hidden Gem with Transformative MagicWhen we first considered St. Michael’s Episcopal Day School, I was actually a bit concerned that the class sizes might be too small. I worried that my children might miss out on the social dynamics that come with larger classrooms. But what we discovered instead was something truly special—an intangible magic that’s hard to put into words but has been absolutely transformative for both of my kids.The level of one-on-one attention each student receives is extraordinary. Teachers here don’t just teach—they know each child. They take the time to understand their interests, strengths, and areas where they need extra support. For example, homework packets are not necessarily the same for each child--they are tailored for a bespoke fit based on each child's academic path and needs. This allows for a truly individualized learning experience that has helped my children grow in confidence, curiosity, and capability.Another thing that sets St. Michael’s apart is the incredible sense of community. The collegiality between grade levels is unlike anything I’ve seen before. Older students mentor younger ones, and there’s a genuine sense of care and connection that runs through the entire student body. Watching my kids thrive in an environment where kindness, empathy, and mutual respect are the norm makes my heart so happy.If you’re looking for a school that nurtures not just academic excellence but also emotional intelligence and a deep sense of belonging, St. Michael’s is a rare and wonderful place.
