We love this school. We've been pleased with the strong leadership and with teachers dedicated to educating our kids to the next level. Standards and expectations are high. Students are learning how to be good citizens too. Great things to come from HCMS.
Before my daughter started at Hampton Cove, she went to private schools. She has be consistently challenged academically at Hampton Cove. The teachers are helpful and nice. When my daughter started there last year, it took a long time for her to make friends, (which isn't normal for her). She has made some fairly good ones now, but as I said it took a long time. There were also bullies there last year, but they have been removed and are not there this year. All in all I think this is the best middle school in Huntsville.
Very positive academic environment. Very clean school; bathrooms are clean and well maintained, lighting is good, equipment and furniture are in very good shape, walls are cheerful, decorated and clean. Parents are active with their kids in clubs and sports. Little if any bullying. No conerns at all about safety or drugs. The students seem polite and engaging. Body language (giggling and singing, etc) and dress appearance in dicates well balanced home life (for example, nothing vulgar on T shirts, no questionable attire). Students are high functioning and come from mostly upper middle class background with educated, professional parents.
i love hampton cove and its great all the teachers are ah-mazing
I just came to 6th grade from Hampton Cove Elementary. I'll have to say, I was very unprepared. And in my Honnors math class, I felt so dumb compared to all the math whizzes. But I am learning what I have trouble with, thanks to my awesome teachers. The teachers do their best to keep us (students) challenged. Even if that means projects frequently. I really enjoy it here.
Great leadership trickles down through principal to the teachers and to the students. Not perfect, no school is, but this school does not strive to simply 'fit' a formula but finds ways to expect and get excellence from their students in grades, character and community involvement.
We are new to Hampton Cove and my daughter just started the 6th grade. She loves it, the teachers and the staff are very friendly and seem to care about the students. I am glad we moved to this area.
