Abbotts Hill Elementary School

THIS SCHOOL IS AMAZING. The school is great because the Teachers are dedicated and they want to teach you.another thing is that the principal and vice principal are focused on improving the student's learning experience.If you have a child in TAG you should not hesitate to move here because they have a great TAG program and two outstanding TAG teachers.

I rate this school as below average because it is comparing it to the other schools in the area. Both of my children went to Abbotts Hill and my daughter's experience was mostly good but my son's was not. His final two years were awful. Bad teachers and the principal, while I actually enjoy talking to her, doesn't treat the boys fairly in my opinion. The assistant principal is much better but I spent too much time talking to her because of his teachers. At least his fourth grade teacher left the school, which is a definate plus

We moved to this area with high hopes for the school system and started our son at AHE for kdg. We are very disappointed in the experience thus far. The amount of worksheets is unbelievable for K-1, there is no opportunity for creativity, and if your kid happens to not respond well to a teaching strategy consisting of nothing but worksheets, then you better be prepared for them to tell you that he/she must be adhd. We will be pulling our child out of this school to make up valuable time lost from his education over the past year and a half. The bottom line is that the school only cares about teaching to the CRCT so that they look good and get more money from the school system. It has nothing to do with reaching the students and truly 'teaching' them.

Abbotts Hill is an excellent school, my daughter is in kindergarden and attended the school. She loves this school, the teachers, and her friends. I have so much respect for the principal and staff especially her teachers. Recently we had to relocate for family emergency and I had to put her in a school in upstate NY, she has told me everyday that the food is not as good as abbotts hill she doesn't like the teachers or the school building. She cries everyday when I leave her and I am going to make sure I bring her back for 1st grade. Thank you to everyone at Abbotts Hill.

Abbotts Hill is an amazing school, dedicated and caring staff. If you have a child with special needs, this school does consider all factors and has been instrumental for my daughter's success. I would highly recommend this school. She is having a wonderful 2nd grade experience...

Abbotts Hill is a wonderful school. This is our first year with the school and we're loving it so far. My son is in kindergarten; the teachers are amazing- energetic, enthusiastic, loving, caring, motivating, and encouraging. They have a wonderful curriculum. My son has learnt so much already in three months. They have exciting activities during the class hours that the children enjoy very much all while learning and acquiring new skills. I'm very pleased with the school.

The teachers, prinicpal and community are great. They care about the corriculum, progress and our children's future. They care about them once they leave leave the school and that is very important to me.

I agree that the Vice Principal is awesome but the Principal is failing to realize that her overall attitude has lead many to dislike the school. It seems she fails to realize that her actions has affected the schools morale and feel. Compared to other schools this place is cold and uninviting whereas other schools are warm and inviting. I went to Lake WInward to see if I could transfer my son, I was told many people have tried to transfer out of AHE. That should tell her and her staff something but they continue to show no regard for anyones opinions. The teachers are good and I've heard no complaints and all have had great experiences with them it is more the administrative staff that puts a bad taste in parents mouths.

The Teachers and Vice Principal are Awesome. I agree the principal is disconnected and doesn't know what the students need. She is not very receptive to new ideas. There can be lot many extracurricular activities which the other schools in the area have but are not offered here.
