Brielle Elementary School

We have lived in Brielle for 11 years and love the small town feel of our community. I currently have a 7th grader and a 3rd grader attending Brielle Elementary, with a preschooler at home looking forward to kindergarten in a few years. I truly appreciate the welcoming atmosphere the school provides for its students and the many ways it supports their education and social-emotional growth. The students are proud of their school and that reflects on the pride they take in themselves.

We have lived in Brielle for the past twenty years. Our children went to private school, but from our observations, this small town school has wonderful youngsters with interested parents. The most important part of a school is the parental participation that it encourages. We see that happening here. Hooray for Brielle Elementry School.

We have teachers and staff who want to be there to teach our children. Our kids enjoy the close relationships they have with the staff and other students. I currently have 3 of 5 children attending Brielle Elementary School and have been able to experience the staff at multiple grade levels. I have had a child who need that extra guidence, and the staff was there year after year to assist him in learning to his greatest ability.

This school is horrible. The Principal and Vice Principal do not put the kid's interests first. For a town that has more than enough wealth and sinks thousands per child into education, the school should be ashamed.

I have children here and I have been very happy with all of the teachers.

Despite small class sizes there is little focus on academic excellence. And, with a Board of Education that is in turmoil and a lame-duck Principal in place, chances are there won't be any time soon. Although there are adequate extracurricular activities, there is certainly no football, ice hockey, or lacrosse. However, my kids do like the lunches. Bottom line, if you want true excellence in this area send you kid to private school or move to Sea Girt, Spring Lake, or Bay Head. They'll be happy at Brielle Elementary, just not challenged to excel. But I suppose that comes mostly from home anyway.
