Both of my sons attend Cold Hill Elementary. I did a lot of research before I chose a school for my boys. I was impressed by the test scores at this school before my kids started going there. I now have a 3rd grader and a 4th grader attending Cold Hill. They both love school. They enjoy the learning environment and the teachers and staff at Cold Hill are exceptional . They go above and beyond to ensure every child has the same opportunity for learning . My youngest son has food allergies as well as ADD. The staff at Cold Hill have made sure he has the same opportunity to learn as the other students without making him feel singled out because of his differences. The principal has a unique rapport with all the students. He maintains order but at the same time it is evident he cares for the students. All the students at Cold Hill love him! I wouldn't choose anywhere else for my boys to go to school. Thanks Cold Hill team ! Keep up the good work! Close Quote
