2019 Best Elementary Schools in New Haven CountyAbout this List

Hamden Hall Country Day School

• Private School
• Hamden, CT
• PK, K-12
• 73

Junior: This is a great school with amazing faculty and students. It doesn't have a longer history or snobbish vibe that other private schools have in the area and yet it continues to have a stellar reputation. It has the best college office in the area with counselors who actually worked in administration in major universities. Almost everything about this school is wonderful, however, it can improve on many things too. It's currently being run by a headmaster who is economically republican while the majority of the students and faculty are on the liberal spectrum. This causes slight drifts between parents, faculty, and administration.
On another hand, the school is expanding every year and improving their facilities at a reasonable rate.
I loved my time at this school and would highly recommend it to people who don't really know what they want to do in life because this school really has it all. From a fantastic football team to a stellar theatre department this school really has it all.

Chase Collegiate School

• Private School
• Waterbury, CT
• PK, K-12
• 55

Parent: Chase has been a school in transition over the past couple years- but it is still the same great community and since the York group entered the picture nothing really has changed for students or faculty, which is great. The teachers love the students and the same beliefs remain. I know many people say it has deteriorated but the school was having trouble financially and York is saving the school. People are saying the Head changed her name but ...she got married and changed it. Students and faculty love this school and it is an amazing place to be. Embrace change ..rather than trying to hurt the school with accurate information. I encourage you to visit and see for yourself!!!!!

Melissa Jones School

• Guilford Public Schools, CT
• K-4
• 1

Parent: We joined Melissa Jones mid school year in 2016 and the transition was amazingly smooth. We were warmly welcomed by the office, principal, teachers and staff. The teachers are wonderful and communication is great from the classroom, office and PTO.

MJS has small class sizes and works hard at academics in a nurturing, mindful way while incorporating social-emotional education as well.

The PTO is great too! Tons of parent involvement at the school and enough opportunity for anyone who wants to help!

Niche User: This school is always very clean and it is very easy to find every classroom. Some of my favorite experiences were the pep rallies and proms. I loved to go support my friends and classmates at various sporting events such as football, hockey, field hockey, swimming and diving, volleyball, and baseball. One of my favorite things about this school is the students' support for each other not just in sports, but in clubs and in the classroom. These are the reasons why I would choose this school again if I could do it over.
