Hathaway is basically a private school for public school prices. The families are great, teachers go above and beyond and curriculum is top of the line. There is tons of parent involvement and the teachers and administration always welcome parents to volunteer and be involved.

This school is wonderful! We have recently left the area and have been so sad to leave Hathaway behind. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, the teachers made our kids look forward to going to school! Thank you Hathaway, you have a set a bar for all other schools to achieve in the eyes of this military family!

My daughter was at a local private school for years before moving to Hathaway. I am extremely impressed by the individual attention that she is receiving at this excellent school. Good citizenship and outstanding values along with a well rounded curriculum make it a true gem in Portsmouth. Her teacher cares deeply about the students. She welcomes volunteers into her classroom and stays in constant communication with the parents. The office staff and principal are outstanding as well. I am thrilled that my daughter is part of this excellent school.

My daughter has been here a year,I am NOT impressed. Office staff seems stressed and unhappy. My daughters lastl school we we were always there for plays, awards,family orientated activities,etc. This school has a very COLD atmosphere from the office staff down to the way it is run. The pick up/drop off situaion is autrocious to say the least,all jumbled together,no structure. The principal has little to no interaction with students. So dissapointed I moved my family to Portsmouth specifically for the 'better' school system. On the brighter my daughter excels and her teacher is FABULOUS! I guess that is what counts.Also the principal is retiring this year so hopefully things will get better. If not we go PRIVATE.
