Chapel Hill Elementary School

This is the best school hands down. 2 of my children attended and I wouldn't send them anywhere else. We live where we do, just for this school. The principal is on top of everything, and my kids had a great experience here. This school is different, it reminds me of the school I went to when I was young. There is an "old school" feel to this. They organize wonderful events and Mrs. Hundley is always on top of everything. My son loves the after school clubs, especially, creative steamers. He has had a wonderful 6 years in this school. Sad he will be finishing 5th grade and leaving this year. :(

Lot of great clubs and after school activities, but have you hear of Battle of the Books or Black Saga? Well you probably won’t unless your child has been specifically asked to be part of those clubs. Why aren’t they open to all kids? Because those clubs compete at the state, and national level. Unfortunately, the teachers that are in charge of Battle of the Books and Black Sage, care about the winning, so participants are carefully selected. However, 24 club also competes nationally, but those teachers are perhaps more interested in giving kids the experience of competing and are not focused on winning.

My son attends Chapel Hill Elementary and we are very happy with the school. The teachers take active interest in pupil's development and work with parents to ensure all the developmental needs of the children are met.

I must respond to some of the most recent "reviews" posted here. I am a parent with 2 children in Chapel Hill Elementary and both of my children, my wife, and I are having a great experience. We have only had excellent, experienced teachers and have NEVER had an email go unanswered by a teacher. The PTA is very involved and a great resource for the school and students. The only slight negative is that the school is overcapacity. However there are new schools being planned and the district lines have been changed recently, but these changes take some time to shrink enrollment. It is difficult to cut current enrollment by re-redistricting as virtually NO ONE wants their kids moved away from this excellent school. While the overcapacity is less than ideal, the school leaders have handled it well with plenty of staff and some temporary additional classrooms added. It only seems to make the normal business of lunchtime and after-school functions a little more difficult. Finally, I have to wonder who the random people who rate it low and leave no comment are? Very suspect and without much use for anyone other than then person who may have a grudge who posted it.
