Education is great if your student does not struggle they are very much into academically stron children.I know Ive had one of each.One that struggles and one that does not they were treated totally different.For the most part teachers spend most of there time in the halls gossiping about each other and the students.My first child was here with the previous principle and now this child with the one they have now.it is a totally different school.This one is only there to better himself.His opinion is all that matters.He will listen to you but in the end what he says goes.I know my child much better than he does.To bad he thinks he's so smart.Facilites are nice,much is great,parent invovement has declined alot since I was there in 95 to now.

This is the best elementary school in the county! The teachers are very kind and they help us very much with our work. I'm in the 5th grade at Hopewell and have gone there since Kindergarten, so I'll miss the teachers very much. If you're looking for a great school for your Kindergartener or are just transferring your current student, try Hopewell. It's the best!
