Not A Thing. Made my chidren leave right in middle of year. Totally not in tune with the childrens emotions.

Totally agree. I have noticed the office staff is lacking, even friendliness or even a smile. Just not use to it. Teachers seem very happy, friendly and truly interested in the children.

The teachers at the school are great; but the office help is lacking communication 101 skills.

Robert Hunter has been a great experience for my child! She has excelled with her reading and math and has found wonderful friends. There are mny activities to participate in, which the children love! The teachers have been so great with the my child and with communicating with me when needed. I feel a personal connection, and love it here!

We recently moved into the district and so far we love it. The administration and teachers are very welcoming. My child loves this school and is performing well; his teacher is excellent and does a great job managing the classroom.

We moved here from North Jersey where schools are quite good, but often with bored, tenured teachers and overly regulated classrooms. Robert Hunter is an awesome school. Great communication with administration and teachers. The proof is in the classrooms; the kids are happy and are performing, in many cases, above the grade requirements.

The principals are amazing though the class teacher my child could use with better understanding of how to manage the classroom and perhaps better interest in teaching and managing the class. Overall the school is good - the teacher made the experience lacking.

We recently moved here from another district in NJ. My son has special needs, and we really wanted to be sure that he was going to get the same high quality education he was getting in the other town. We are so pleased with his progress, and the overall quality of the school, curriculum and teachers!

We found this school has well-meaning teachers but is tripping over beaurocracies and has difficulty managing different learning styles and individual needs. It would benefit greatly from a common purpose/philosophy and general respect among staff & admin/ Staff & Parents.

The teachers and the administration work hard to promote the school as a team and that each individual classroom is and operates like a family.
