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.

I went to Hatikvah from 3rd grade and it was by far the best school ever. The relationships I made with the students and friends were very strong and I keep them all close to my heart. It prepared me VERY well for high school and I am ahead in many classes. It is a great school for students with IEP and each grade has a special education teacher. The extra help was great and the teachers were very kind and flexible. They made you feel important. I miss Hatikvah so much and I am so greatful I went. I made lots of memories there especially on the 8th grade Israel trip. I love the community and how so many backgrounds learn together and speak Hebrew. It sets up kids for success and allows them to be more accepting of diversity and be better people. It is a small school that has so much goodness too it.

I love this school as do my kids. There has certainly been challenges with remote learning, but everybody tries to make it work. If you're going to kindergarden, see if you can get Mrs. Disporto. She's the best :)

My son is going for a third year now and so far he is having a great experience at this school. The culture is very diverse and learning opportunities are great. This school is strongest in languages, reading and writing skills (probably one of the strongest in the state in fact) and about an averag...
