Hamilton Meadow Park School

I Love this School!! We are in the Coast guard and our daughter has been in this school for 3 yrs so far from Kindergarten to 2nd Grade. I cannot say enough good things. The teachers are so hands on with the kids and gives 100% dedication to them.. the office staff and principal are great.. And I love their 0 tolerance for bullying system. My daughter feels safe everyday she goes to school and enjoys going every day :) We Are transferring to a new school next year due to PCS orders and will really miss Hamilton I recommend this school to any parent moving to the area.

I was concerned about sending my son to Hamilton when he started kindergarten. My concerns were based mainly on things I had heard from other parents in the community. However, we have been there for a year and a half and we love it! The school has a fantastic administrative team who goes above and beyond everyday. I have found the parent community very involved and welcoming. In addition my son has had excellent teachers. He has not only become a fantastic reader but he is also being taught important character lessons which are encouraged in the classroom, on the playground and by administration. The school also has provided him an excellent opportunity to take after school enrichment classes in art, science, golf, and the list goes on. He is extremely happy and I am very glad I did not get scared away from my neighborhood school without giving it the chance it deserves.

This is an amazing school! As a former teacher, I can tell you, that never have I seen a more dedicated administration who inspire the teachers, parents and kids to excellence. The entire staff is excellent and the school works extremely hard to make sure the needs of every child is met. For a school with such a diverse socio-economic and cultural population the performance scores are wonderful. This is one of the reasons we chose Hamilton, because we want our children to grow up with the diversity to prepare them for the real world. The dedication from the PTA and parents is a true indicator of why this school is so successful as well. With the middle school being added this year we are so grateful that our kids can stay in this fantastic learning community right up until high school.

I am a parent of 3 children here. I am so impressed with the entire staff and parent community. This is a wonderfully supportive, loving school that meets the demands of the population it serves. That includes everyone from the average student, children needing specialized instruction or Special Ed., and the GATE program for gifted students. I have firsthand experience with all of these areas. The PTA is very involved and supportive. The children are exposed to everything they need here.

Great school. My son did well here and I loved the one on one he received from his kindergarten teacher. We also loved the early bird/late bird program. It worked well for our family.

My oldest child attended k-2 here, and my other son Kindergaten. Their teachers were wonderful and gave them a wonderful beginning and a firm foundation. Not only were they taught the essentials acadamically, especially reading, but they (especially the oldest because he was there longer) were taught things like kindness, compassion, and fairness. Their teachers nurtured the good qualities they each possessed even if it was a little trying at times. They had the same K teacher, but have very different personalities. This teacher treated them individually and helped them each develop their own personalities.She didn't compare one to the other. And my oldest's 1st grade teacher was absolutely wonderful. She helped him gain more confidence in himself and his accomplishments as well as helped him recognize his natural talents. His 2nd grade teacher was a little tougher and taught him how good it feels to accomplish your goals especially difficult ones.
