    This school makes me want to turn back the clock and be a kid again! It's a dream come true for a…read morebright kid who doesn't have just one area of focus. The teachers have been wonderful about letting my child check out things he's interested in and develop his own interests and opinions. He's gotten to try writing fairy tales, learning about sea life, and art club. He is in love with the chess club most of all - Coach Indermaur is awesome and so dedicated! The school just feels like it's brimming with possibilities. The teachers and leadership go very far out of their way to make sure they're not leaving kids behind due to special needs, poverty, or even behavioral issues. The communication from the school, PTA, teacher, and principal has been beyond impressive. The involvement and volunteerism from the parents truly blows me away. Most of the volunteers have jobs (like I do) but build in time where we can to be a part of what this school is doing. Every time I leave the building, I realize I've been smiling the whole time I've been there. The added focus on early AIG-related teaching has been wonderful. I truly don't see how other schools manage it when they can't identify or give additional enrichment to AIG kids before 4th grade. An intellectually gifted kid in a regular class is a teacher's nightmare. People think "intellectually gifted" means the kid who sits up front and knows all the answers and reads all the time. It's often the kid who won't quiet down, the one who is obstinate toward the teacher, or the one who interrupts the other kids. More difficult work and added academic challenges are an important part of the solution there, and other schools don't provide much support there. Hunter has teachers and a principal who "get it" when it comes to this, and they're willing to work with you and your child to allow them to become their best version of themselves through work, practice, support, and structure. Every teacher I've worked with thus far seems genuinely happy to be at the school, and my son's teacher has been a standout star in an already very bright field of stars. Just seeing the difference in my kid's knowledge, writing, reading, and attitude in the past 3 semesters is proof positive that she is an expert at her very difficult job. I cannot say enough good things about the school. Love, love, love Hunter!

    So I have been sending the little clones to this school for the past 4 years now. Just like any…read moreschool, it has it's ups, and it's downs. The normal school day runs from 9:15 AM to 3:45 PM. They have a before school program, but not an after school program, so your kids MUST be picked up for 4:00 PM. And if you call after 4:00 PM, unless you have somebody's mobile phone, or direct line, the front desk will not answer the phone. The do serve what they consider "a nutritional" lunch. But I say, it is only nutritional IF AND ONLY IF two things happen. 1) You don't burn or over cook it. Then all the nutritional value is gone. 2) If the kids eat it. If it is burnt, or dried up like a brick, then the kids will not eat it. If it taste like, hmm, in the words of my 7 years old, the food sucks, then the kids will not eat it. Here is a true story, I went to have lunch with my kids at school, when I got there for the first one, he was eating a salad. Now, this kids loves his veggie tables more than most kids, but he is also a T-Rex with his carnivorous appetite. I did think it was kinda strange, but I didn't realize till I was having lunch with the next one. I actually went through the line with him, and he just chooses the safe option everyday, and eats a PB&J. I could not even recognize some of the food. But if you really want to know how good the food is, check out the staff, and see how many of them eat it. I would say about 95% of them bring their lunch. Now that makes you ask, if it is so healthy and nutritious, why don't the people who work their eat it? But I have to admit, the school food is better than it was there two years ago, so I will give them that. As far as electives, since Hunter is a AG/GT Magnet School of Distinction and has won awards, they do have a nice variety of elective programs. Some of the teachers are the nicest people you will meet in the world. The music teacher, Mrs. Taylor, is not just a music teacher, but actually plays in orchestra and symphony concerts, so you know she is good. She is also super nice, and whenever she has extra concert tickets, she shares them with her students families. The school likes to invite authors, poets, dancers, musicians, you know real famous people to the school and have them talk to the kids One of the authors was the writer of "Where the Wild Things Are." The school does try and have a good curriculum. They recently started a "Walkers Club" for those that get there early in the morning. You can do a few laps around the track, and earn points. You know kids, they love points. Not sure what they get at the end, but they still love points. So, in the end, if you want to know more about Hunter Elementary, take a tour. While you are there, if you see some parents around ask them. And for the new orientation, when I attended, they handed out what I call a "Kidnap me" directory. That a book with the name, address, e-mail and phone number of all the kids that go to the school. You can opt to have some of the information removed from the directory at the beginning of the year, but you better catch them before they publish it. But come on, who just hands that information out to total strangers the first time you meet them. Be a little bit more secure with that info. That is why I wanted only wanted their name, my name, and the phone number listed. Everybody, their momma, and their daddy don't need to know where I live. Not that I have anything to hide, but do you want a book floating around that could fall into the wrong hands with everybody's info in it? Did I go off topic, sorry. Just my personal thoughts. But go check out Hunter, they are a decent school for the most part.

    My son has been at Lucy Daniels from K through 5th grade. He has had amazing care and education…read morefrom Lucy Daniels. He has a team of staff working for him and with my husband and myself to meet his needs. My son has his own weekly therapy sessions as part of his support within the school, as do my husband and myself so that we are all aligned for his care and needs. The teachers have been creative and supportive of him throughout his time at Lucy Daniels. Throughout his entire time at the school the focus has been on meeting his needs where he is at, while giving him the opportunities to grow. I was honestly so surprised by some of the other reviews I've read here. We have relied on the support Lucy Daniels has provided us and our son for years and I really don't think he would have thrived as much as he has without Lucy Daniels.

    I'm writing this review in an effort to spare another family from an emotionally painful and very…read morecostly experience. I strongly urge you to do your research, get more than one opinion, read reviews on local Facebook groups, and listen to your gut before deciding to enroll your child into this school. Dr. Rosenblitt (who is a founder of LDC), deemed my 3 year old as having a severe mental illness after only taking a family history and observing my son playing with legos for 20 minutes. Without any hesitation, he told my husband and I that we should take it as seriously as though we just received a diagnosis of leukemia. We were strongly encouraged to enroll our son into their "therapeutic" school as the only way to preserve his development. We were promised a clinical team that would work hand in hand with us and the teacher to help our son thrive in a social setting and to better cope at home. Unfortunately, the school failed to deliver on all of the promises they made to us. The lead psychiatrist who was assigned to my child and in charge of the care plan, Dr. Kunaparaju, never my son in the month he was enrolled at the school. She also never read his history before our first meeting and didn't know who he was or why he was at the school. On top of that, there was no care plan or goals or any type of formal assessment that the "team" was working from. When my husband or I would press for answers to our concerns, we ping ponged between the psychiatrist, the Educational Director (Jen Reid, who is not clinical), or the lead teacher (also not clinical) - none of whom ever gave us a straight answer. We were told their approach was reflective and that we need to start getting our minds around the fact that there is nothing we could do for our son other than to try and maintain. Unwilling to accept that as an answer, I received second and third opinions and have learned just how incorrectly they diagnosed him and how inappropriate it was for them to tell us he has a severe mental illness without any sort of formal assessment or diagnostic testing. Separately, this school is completely unsafe under their current operations. Classrooms are chaotic and teachers are inexperienced and/or in over their heads. There is no protocol for backup support where there is a student demonstrating unsafe behavior. All classes simply rely on a single person (the Education Director) to come and fill in if needed. Parents and children go freely between the classroom and the main hallway with low to no oversight. Worst of all, there were several instances where the only adults present with the students were parents because the teachers were too overwhelmed with a situation going on with another student! Additionally, the classroom is not structured for pre-k kids; even with a stool they can't even reach the sink or the soap dispenser. And while they pointed to COVID as the reason behind the delay of their new playground, there was not a single age appropriate toy available in their outdoor space. My child resorted to filling an empty bucket with mulch. Worst of all, children were made and expected to play and eat outside when the heat index was above 90. Thankfully I was there on those days and was able to bring my son inside. There was another little girl that asked to go inside because it was too hot and she was told no. As a parent who stayed with my child for 3hrs a day, every single day that he was there (they failed to help me with a transition plan), the situations I witnessed were appalling. This school was very quick to take our money and then didn't support us in any of the ways they had promised. This was truly a heartbreaking experience I hope no other parent has to go through. Please learn from our costly mistake and avoid this school.
