HRE is a great school with caring teachers and leaders. Our children have all received the support and guidance they needed during these elementary school years, and we are grateful to everyone who has played a part in helping them grow in their confidence and education. Everyone at HRE takes an active part in helping students thrive - the custodian team, the front office team, the KidsCo team - everyone truly invests in the students. Like any school, there are challenges, but we overall have had a positive experience and highly recommend HRE.

We have loved Hamilton Ridge - the teachers and staff have all been great. A new principal started in 2022-23 and we have been really impressed with his leadership - very social and involved and takes time to know the students and families. Like any school, there are challenges. But we feel that overall, HRE is a great place.
