If you're researching this school, your child is probably bright, probably miserable about reading, and probably not getting enough from a public Individualized Education Program (IEP) or a mainstream classroom. Judge Hamlin Robinson on its own terms: it is not a prep school with a support program bolted on, because the whole institution is the accommodation. Every classroom runs the Slingerland Approach, a classroom-scale adaptation of Orton-Gillingham multisensory instruction, so your child is never the exception being pulled out of class. Just as deliberately, it ends at 8th grade. The product is remediation plus an exit ramp back into mainstream high schools, and the class of 2025 split 53% to public schools and 47% to independents. The cost question is stark, $34,750 to $37,310 for 2026-27 against a free public IEP. But the school holds a state Nonpublic Agency designation that lets districts fund a placement in rare cases, and a quarter of families get need-based aid averaging $18,000. Families who want a school to keep through 12th grade, or whose child's needs extend well beyond language processing, are the ones who should keep looking.
