GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My son transitioned from a highly-rated charter school to Hampden for first grade, and I have to say, I'm impressed. His teacher is attentive, intuitive, and communicative. In his first two weeks, she's noted his problem subjects and found in-house programs that he'd benefit from. She also made sure to keep in touch with us as he got himself acclimated to the new school. My son, who had been in a school environment since 2, went from hating school in kindergarten to being excited to go every day.

We love Hampden EMS. We love that the teachers love the school and want to stay year after year. Hence the high retention rate. We also love how receptive the school is to feedback and willing to make adjustments. My son loves going to school and is learning so much!
