From principal, to higher staff. Awful at one point the terminated all disabled programs and dumped those kids into regular classroom without warning to the parents. Then failing them but they weren't accredited then. You have to go to the school board and speak with the superintendent for any assistance. You get no say in your child's IEP plan nor the right to school bus transportation in Hopewell.

If I could give this school 0 stars, i would. They are not welcoming to parent visitors. i visited my son's classroom and then like 30 minutes into visiting i was thrown out because they said the teacher needed to teach and said if i wanted to observe then write a note weeks in advance. i tld her i wasnt there to observe. i just wanted to spend time with my son at school. parents are treated like the enemy and i am displeased due to the fact that i am a taxpayer whose money helps keep this school up and going and they don't even want you there. Have something to hide maybe?

Great School! I am very pleased with the curriculum and the positive involvement from the teachers, parents, and students. Dupont focuses on learning in the classroom and provides the students with extracurricular activities before and after school. Before school activities include choir or guitar; After school: Battle of the Books, running club, tutoring, etc. There are so many diverse clubs that the students can take part in. I am impressed with teachers level of experience, knowledge, talents, and what they offer to the students. Dupont strives to be the best and it shows. This is my children's first year at Dupont. Transferring from Chester was a bit terrifying. My children have excelled in every aspect of learning and do not ever want to miss a day. Dupont Elementary is a hidden secret. There is so many great things about this school. The one thing I would like to have changed are the ratings. Thank you Dupont Teachers and Staff for all you do!

Recently our daughter represented her school in a district academic program. I was very pleased at the level of confidence exhibited by her Dupont Elementary peers! They worked well together in teams and seemed to have a great deal of pride in their school.

I'm disappointed more people have not voted to this school of organized ladies and gentlemen. From everyone from the custdians to the principal ensure that these children recieve a safe and solid education! They all seem to do it so effortlessly, as if you and your child are a part of their extended family! I love this school, they really rock! I would have never known that so many fortunate children attend because they seem to know each one and their family dynamics individually! Did I mention how great and supportive the other parents are of each other children? Our village!
