Open Quote The school grade is not reflective of what an amazing school Hunter's Green is. Three of my children have attended Hunter's Green and all have thrived there. It is a wonderful, caring place, where children get a great education and have a lot of enrichment opportunities. Close Quote

Open Quote My son attended kindergarten and now in 1st grade at HG and we could not be happier. It really is a great school. Of course you will have a parent here and there that doesn't get their way but that is at every school. I was nervous at first but decided I needed to give it a chance myself. We live in the community and could not be happier as he is learning so much and he loves his teachers. The teachers and staff are amazing and caring. Our other son will be starting at HG next year and I'm so happy to have them in a great community school. Close Quote
