Hunter College Elementary School is a New York City elementary school for intellectually gifted students located on Manhattan's Upper East Side. It is administered by Hunter College, a senior college of the City University of New York.
History
Hunter College Elementary School was created in 1940 as an experimental school for gifted students. It grew out of the Hunter College Model School and assumed its current name in 1941. From its inception until 1973, Hunter College Elementary School was located at the Hunter College campus at 68th Street and Lexington Avenue. Its current location is at 71 East 94th Street in New York City.
The school has enjoyed tremendous success over the years and in the 1950's and 1960's was recognized worldwide for its groundbreaking approach to the education of gifted students. A 2005 review by [http://www.insideschools.org/fs/school_profile.php?id=76 InsideSchools.org] recognizes the significant history and mission statement of the school but mentions that the institution may be foundering somewhat for want of attention from its parent organization, Hunter College. Recent staff turnovers have resulted in a lack of consistency of teaching quality, although many parents feel that the quality of instruction remains outstanding.
One of its most notable principals was Dr. Florence Brumbaugh, educator and author of children's literature, who retired in 1960 and was succeeded by Louis T. Camp. The current principal is Randall Collins.
