I am impressed with Hainesport school. My child learns so much, is excited to go everyday, and loves his teachers. We have had positive experiences with teachers, the principal, and other staff members. A BIG plus is the very active PTO and Education Foundation. The school is really striving to bring modern technology to the kids while still keeping a hands on approach. I am impressed with the dedication of all the parents. Everyone is very involved with the kids and school. It makes a great community feeling. I am looking forward to another great year!

We moved to Hainesport last year what a blessing it was to have my son go to school here. I love his teachers and how proactive the school has been in making sure my sons needs have been met. Last year prior to moving his old school had started talking with me about the possibilities of him having ADHD even though he had been evaluated by a neurologist who said he was just immature and needed time. It went as far as his teacher discussing the possibility of medication which I was against as I had no true ADHD diag. I actually cried when we got his report card this year he is doing so well. I love the school and the community its just a great place to live.

A positive, caring environment with excellent teachers who really do care about the individual student. I'm not sure what teachers some of the other reviewers are speaking about, but we've had nothing but positive experiences with all the teachers our kids have been exposed to. Great school.

The teachers that my children have had are gifted and dedicated teachers. Both children love school and I feel that is due to the positive and caring environment that the teachers provide.

Hainesport school is run by a staff that should have retired long ago. Parental involvement is only encouraged if you do not dissent. Teachers are non-responsive and apathetic. I regret moving to Hainesport primarily because of the school. If you move here be prepared to either accept a third rate education for your chiildren or pay for one of the many private schools in the area. Prehaps in a few years once the current set of teachers have retired the school will change for the better, but this will be too late for my family. Staff embraces use of negative reinforcement.

Hainesport is a nice little school that provides the students with all the basics necessary for high school beyond. However, beware, as with all schools, you may run into a teacher or two that needs to retire. They have lost the student/teacher touch. I am a teacher writing about my observations as a parent of a Hainesport student. The school provides, but needs to keep the small school personality, not the 'keep up with the Jones' attitude.

Best kept secret in Burlington County. This school has all the charm of a one room school house and all the opportunity of large regional school. It's the best of both worlds.
