Our son struggled hopelessly in reading. Attended 3 private schools prior to Hamlin Robinson.. Money well spent at HRS. Teachers are remarkable, kind patient and understanding. Impressive Art, music and science. My advice don't wait to enroll just do it. Your child will benefit more in 6 months then any other private school could ever do in 2 years and become the young adult who will be a leader and roll model. HRS changes our children's life's. Many students become very important to our community. I can't say enough about the teachers, parents and students who all work together to make sure everyone thrives. Our son wouldn't be where he is today. High school and college was a breeze and has accomplished so much in his young life. Thank you HRS

This school gave us our son back. His self-esteem had been destroyed by other children's reactions to his learning differences. This school built his confidence, taught him to read intellectually, and prepared him to re-enter public school with the tools to succeed. Today he holds two professional master's degrees.

Such a great place for my middle school son! He has faced his reading difficulties, greatly improved his academics, and his self-esteem has soared. The environment is confident and kind. My son ran for his bus with a smile every day. A wonderful school.
