"It's a fabulous school. We love it and it is within walking distance from our home. It's got a great small feel, and all of the faculty and staff know your child!"

"All three of our children have gone here. It has been a really great experience in every way. There are a few subpar teachers, but that can be true for most schools. Overall he teachers, administration, and parents all contribute to make Hilburn one of the best schools in the area."

"I absolutely love this school. From my experience the teachers really care about the students’ success here. They are very proactive when it comes to bullying prevention. Teachers and staff are always happy to see the students, especially in the morning during arrival. In my opinion, this is extra important when it comes to setting the tone for the remainder of the day, especially for the little ones. Communication between parents and teachers/staff has been phenomenal. I am also very satisfied with the curriculum."

"I'm surprised the ratings are so low. It's a K-8 SteEM school that at least four private schools have copied. It also has minimal forced bussing. We love Hilburn!"

"The school offers STEM and Foreign Language to a degree that other schools don't in the area. The staff and teachers are very good, and tend to be younger and enthusiastic."
