Mendham Township elementary school is fantastic! We started our children at St. Joseph School in Mendham because we wanted the faith-based education, but were very disappointed with the weak education program at St. Joe's. We are so glad we switched to the public school. The teachers are fabulous, very caring and helpful. Our kids have always gotten excellent grades, but the environment here is much healthier than at the military-style of St. Joeeph School.

The Mendham Twp. School system has wonderful administration, teachers and staff that are committed to every student's education and social development. We are extremely fortunate to have children attending this school.

The NJ ASK is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of New Jersey. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
