In my opinion it’s a excellent school my daughter just started 3 months ago she didn’t speak and she was delayed and now she is speaking everything she is more calm and can express herself, everyday she comes home pretty happy she loves the school for sure.

Just an overall bad school. Staff is over paid the principal does nothing the vice principal does nothing. They never return emails there is zero communication with parents. For the amount of taxes that are paid to this school you’d think they would be a top tier school. Don’t move to Hamburg you’ll regret it!

They allow bullying, they do not take parents concerns seriously and treat children as though they are less than and dont matter. The superintendent is an absolute joke.

The school is one in a million. It has all the benefits and drawbacks of a private education. Class sizes are small allowing for personal interaction. The staff strives to know each child and his family individually

This school has been a wonderful, supportive learning environment for my children. I find the staff very willing to go the extra step to engage students.

This is my sons second year in the school and we are looking to get out. They are behind the times with everything they are doing. It seems to me that the only form of attention you get is if you have a problem. The child who learns quickly and gets A's and A+'s and is completely bored does not get anything to challenge them. The lack of programs in the school is pathetic and I can go on and on but I won't.

This school is upright awful education wise. I am also a school of choice student participating like the review below. Most of the staff is welcoming and extremely wonderful to the students but my education wasn't very well constructed. A teacher has targeted some students in out class including me and would pick out any little thing we did wrong.most schools learn Spanish while this learns French. When I left Hamburg I had to catch up with all the Spanish they had learned throughout the years. Special education is favored and can do the most awful things to other kids and not get in trouble while a regular student would get yelled at for calling something, for example, stupid. Anyways this school's education isn't good and I have no regrets about leaving. I love my new school and the teachers are fabulous and I am working extremely hard to keep my grades up in a new extremely challenging district.

To start off, I am a student participating in the school choice program. They don't give students hardly any respect and expect us to respect them like a king or queen. There is no writing curriculum. The assignments are very pointless. I received no writing instruction at all. If you are standing up against something, they will target you for ridiculous things. For example, I didn't get along with this kid and we always barked at each other. So I was reported for bullying by his or hers friends parents. When the kid never even accused me of bullying. So over all the staff is terrible. They don't give children the right education and treat them horribly. Some teachers have favoritism and target other kids. So if you have moved to Hamburg, I recommend you do the school choice program.

this is a horrible school if you have a child with special needs!! The director works part time and does not know anything! The self contained teacher was a speech teacher who lost her job because she did not have all her certifications so she got an online degree in special ed and became the self contained teacher. they have NO resource rooms starting this year! they have NO CLUE how to do inclusion which makes it even worse that they have no resource rooms!! nice small school is about all it has going for them! but small also means they just don't follow the law nor do they care to! the principal also wears the superintendant hat! I moved out of that town just to get my autistic child out of that school! It is a nightmare for a special ed child! and they hate to hear from parents! If you do stand up they target your child!
