Just got back from a Pre-K graduation and the turn out of Parents was comendable. It shows that if a child is helped at home they will do well in school. Parent participation is a must. The teachers did think they would have such a large turn out and they added to the program and it was superb! Great Job Teachers. Looking foward to seeing you next year with my other grandkids.

I have lived in Willingboro for 6yrs my children have attended Hawthorne Park Elementary school for the same amount of time. I find that the teachers are very good and they really care about their students. Every teacher that my children have had were the best.I do notice a great change in the PTA. Good Job

I'm new to the Willinboro area (7/2005). So far I've found Hawthorne to be a decent school. My daughter feels the class room is too hot and the heat prevents her from focusing. Other than that she likes it.(my daughter is in the 4th grade)

This school is really on the money. The teachers that my children have had, were very professional. The quality of the academic programs, from my understanding, is one of the best. My children learned the NJ CCCS and did well on the state exams. Parent involvement is not the greatest.
