Spring Glen in Hamden is great. 10 minutes from downtown, right on a bus line, great elementary school, and a very walkable neighborhood. Your kids can walk to school and stop at their friend's house on the way home.

How are the high schools in Hamden in general?

Not good. But Spring Glenn elementary is great and the middle school is okay. And the original commenter is right, the neighborhood is truly a neighborhood and is awesome.

YMMV. We had a terrible experience with middle school, and so far an excellent experience in HS. Lots of clubs and activities. The HECA program is amazing. Support staff is on point. There are also magnet school options if your kid has a special interest.

Good to know. We have a while before our kids get there so I'll definitely be doing some research. Thanks for the info.
