We sent our children to one of the pricier private school options on the East Side, but we are so glad that we moved them to HBS! At a third the cost, the education is just as good, the classes are diverse, the students are kind-hearted and engaged, the teachers are smart and attentive, and the pare
Posted by a parent on 5/2/2019We are so happy we discovered this school. It is a truly unique experience that you just don't find in other schools. Our kids come home every day saying they had an amazing day at school. They wish summer break was shorter so they can get back to school. They are upset when there is a snow day. The
Posted by a parent on 9/15/2017Our child has been attending HBS for 5 years (since Kindergarten). There are so many things to love about this school. Our daughter loves attending school so much that she cries when there's a snow day! All of her her homeroom teachers have been great, and they've recently replaced the spanish and m
Posted by a community member on 3/26/2017My two children are currently enrolled at Henry Barnard (both in the lower school) and they love to school each day. I like it, too! Their teachers are dynamic, engaging, and supportive. In particular, their STEAM-based approach to learning with Tech Ed is great, and a real selling point for the sch
Posted by a parent on 11/18/2015My daughter had always dreaded school, even though we started her out with the gentlest Montessori preschool, but it wasn't until she ended up at HBS (in 3rd grade) through an unforeseen turn of events that she was truly happy. Kind teachers, variety of curriculum, socially responsible learning. The

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSadly the theme at this school is attendance, not learning, not the growth of children, just how the community views the principal Mrs Hamnley. She is very dismissive and talks down to everyone. I do not feel she should be in charge of an elementary school. Hands down the worst school I have ever dealt with.Teacher Review1y ago - Veazie Street School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis marks the second year my son has been enrolled at this school, and we've witnessed significant shifts in personnel, from the principal to several teachers previously criticized in unfavorable reviews.The incoming principal is driven by a genuine desire for improvement and is confronting the tough decisions inherent to the role. A newly established parent council is actively contributing to much-needed reforms within the school. I'm optimistic about the direction in which the school is moving under this new leadership.As my son approaches his transition to middle school next year, I'm encouraged by the positive developments at this institution. Despite its smaller size, the school proactively supports its students before academic challenges become unmanageable, showing a real commitment to their overall well-being.Parent Review2y ago - St Pius V School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school does not know how to handle bullying incidents, especially the Administration. They do not uphold the moral standards as expected of a Catholic school. A student who bullied my daughter and some of the classmates to the extent of physical violence and harassment was promoted to the next grade level within the school year, which seems more of a reward for bad behavior.Parent Review4mo ago - St Thomas Regional School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTo be quite frank I hate writing reviews but this school is so bad I felt it was almost a civic duty to write this. The school fails on multiple levels from quality of education to structure and design its basically a slave factory... they also don't even professionalism to pull parents aside and talk about issues they will lay into you in the courtyard... the real nail in the coffin for me was the fact that I was paying for my kid to receive bad education like I'm paying for my child to be behind why would I do that very depressing that this was the outcome.Parent Review2y ago
