Welcome to the NEW Hamilton Elementary School and Early Childhood Center, set to open for the 2025-26 school year! Hamilton Elementary will be the 11th elementary building in Kentwood Public Schools. The need for this building is pretty clear–Kentwood is a growing district. During the past 10 years, Kentwood Public Schools is one of only three districts in Kent County that has seen student enrollment increase. More students are anticipated in the years ahead as numerous new homes continue to be built in our community. We are proud that Kentwood Public Schools is a destination district for so many families. The tradition of excellence in our district is strong. The support we receive from our families and our community is robust. Kentwood Public Schools is committed to building upon this tradition and support, living up to our vision of Excellence and Equity in Education for each student, by providing an authentic caring environment where innovative learning takes place.
Located at 3303 Breton Road, SE, an extensive, $20 million renovation project is taking place at Hamilton to ensure the new elementary school is at the same standard with the existing elementary buildings in our district. This will involve a new kitchen and gymnasium, updated classrooms and playground, as well as enhancements to safety at the building. In addition, a dedicated early childhood space will be created at the building, which will allow the new school to maintain an early childhood center to serve families in the area.
