Edward T. Hamilton Elementary School

My children went through both, elementary (Kresson) and Voorhees Middle School ( VMS). To my opinion Kresson is a mixed bag. However, it went down in early writing and math skills as classes seems to me became larger and the schools do not have enough teachers do development critical thinking and learning skills. The school district is eager to promote an Early Sex education among elementary school age children under a Health Education curriculum, and has staff for those type of lessons. Please be aware that parents can opt out the Sex Ed part if desired. The opt out forms can be requested through your district school administration and must be submitted by September 22nd, 2025. I wish we would have a voucher option to be able to afford to take our 6-year-old son to a private or a Catholic school to avoid an exposure to undesired information pushed by public schools in New Jersey

This is our second school year here and by far the best school. There isn’t a ton of homework, my children can usually be done all of their homework in 10-15 minutes at max. The communication among the teachers, the principal, as well as the “special” teachers is amazing. I can email or call and get a response in minutes. They allow us and the teacher additional communication through an app. The teachers also send photos here and there so you can see your child throughout the day or a cool activity they may have done or are doing. My one child has a 504 plan, some difficulties and differences and this school has handled it all and communicated effectively throughout. Thus far I have not had any problems with safety, or harsh punishments within the school or the community. The community as a whole is so welcoming and very involved through and through. They allow so many opportunities for families and parents to be involved throughout the year between trips, fun days or even just reading a story to the children sometimes. Best school, hands down.

Excellent in all aspects of elementary education!

I am really surprised by the reviews below. This is the sixth school my kids have been in. They went both public and private. By far OLMC is the best school we have attended. In the last two years two of my girls graduated from OLMC. Their experiences in eight grade were exceptional both in the classroom and socially. The principle is unlike any we have ever encountered. She is truly amazing. The teachers go so far above and beyond. My now 10th grader has the tools to for success in high school because of OLMC. I am certain my 9th grader will do well, she has been placed in all honors classes. And my now 6th grader gets to enjoy 3 more years of OLMC.

The absolute best there is!!! as an alum and now a parent I can say with confidence there is no better school out there.
