I have 3 children and all have started kindergarten at different schools. My son who started at Hackett and continues to go there has had the best school experiance. He is happy to go to school, feels safe, and learns. The three things all parents want for their child.

Both of my children have attended this school. My daughter made it into one of the top middle schools in the state. I would say that says a lot about the school. My son is still there and doing great. Chances are he will make it into a great middle school, too!

This school is the best kept secret in Philadelphia. My daughter transferred here from a private school in the suburbs and just absolutely loves it. The teachers are wonderful and the principal is a leader and the community is supportive. It's exactly what a public school should be. We love it here.
