(January 2011)
"This is an excellent elementary school! Our family recently moved to a new town and had to switch schools. We always new Hillsborough was great but now we have something to compare it to. We were so sorry we had to leave. The teachers truly care about the students and help them to excel. The schedule is great for the students. They retain what they learn and aren't burnt out because short breaks are built in throughout the year. Parents are very involved and the communication from teachers and administration is expected. I was happy to see that so many staff members knew my children by name. There were many fun activities that helped form a real community at the school. My kids were so comfortable there and never complained about school. All children should be so lucky to go to a school like this. If we could go back, we would."

"I couldn't be any more pleased with my sons first school experience. All of the staff is friendly, helpful and genuinly there with the children's best interest at heart. My son loves to go to school and has learned so much. Any questions or concerns that I have had were addressed quickly and effectively. I couldn't ask for more. I can't wait for my daughter to have the opportunity to start school here in a couple of years."

"We recently moved our two daughters from another Hillsborough elementary school to HES and couldn't be happier! What a difference in the level of parent participation and dedication of the teaching staff. Kudos to their gifted studen program officer for recognizing our daughter's abilities and bringing her into the program. The previous elementary school not only overlooked her capabilities despite our repeated inquiries, but also lost her MAP scores! We were worried about switching schools at first, but now appreciate the benefits that HES has to offer."

"Hillsborough Elementary School is a wonderful school. The year round schedule creates a balanced learning approach. As a school of choice, HES students, teachers, and parents want to be there. The high level of parental support helps to make HES the best school possible."

"HES is a great school! Their academic programs can compare and out weigh any programs in the area. Their extracuricular activities are awesome and the children are always eager to learn and participate. I have never seen the level of parent involvement anywhere as I do at this school. The parents are awesome, and I have always felt welcomed and appreciated. What an awesome group of teachers, assistants, secretaries, custodians, cafeteria personnel! Yes, the baton was passed on by Dr. Swainey and what an awesome person it has been passed to. Those of you with issue with the new administration....just remember HES is a school of choice."
