The best of the best! I have twin girls at the school. Their teacher is the best and really concerned not only about their learning but about them as children. She calls me at home and keeps me aware of what is going on in school. The gym teacher teaches swimming and my kids love her. The principal is the greatest. She is caring, involved and always ready to listen. She does lots of things for the kids like a reading nigt, spring fest, bingo nights, parent field trips at night and more. Every year the teaching staff gets cut though and this is hard on the school.
Great school, my daughter is sudent of the year (2010) in kindergarten, and my son since I change him to this school he is doing much better.
I could no longer afford Catholic school and had to send my 3 children to Alexander Hamilton. I was very nervous and scared, I heard only horror stories about Paterson schools. I cannot tell you how lucky I have been to get into Alexander Hamilton. This is our third year hear and it gets better every year. The principal is the best. She is always willing to talk to me and help me with the problems I may have with my kids. Ms. Rudd the library teacher is great too. The school is almost like a private school, the kids wear uniforms and there is rules. Some parents maynot like that their kids are required to follow the rules but that is what I was looking for. The principal is always around theschool and in the classrooms with the teachers. THe teachers do a good job. THey work hard.
I have 2 children at Alexander Hamilton Academy and I am very pleased by what the school has to offer. There is no playground which can be hard with not outlet for he kids, and parking can be a problem, but school is about learning. The teachers are great and the principal Mrs. Galizia is fantastic. She is such a blessing to the school always willing to help parents and encouraging students to do their best. They really make the kids work hard but it all pays off in the end. Mrs. Galizia has made the school even better than it was by truly caring about our children. Parents need to work on teaching thier children what respect means though. It is a great place to be and I would not want to be anywhere else.
