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 the Squadron A Armory at 71 East 94th Street in New York City.
Students from the elementary school generally continue from Kindergarten to 6th grade, and then (through affiliated Hunter College High School, located in the same building) through 12th grade. The Wall Street Journal published a study in 2007 that showed Hunter to be among the top 20 feeder schools to top universities in the United States, and the only public school listed in the top 20.[1][2]
Hunter College Elementary School and Hunter College High School share a campus, shown above.
