This school is great! I am a 6th grade student and through the years I've been here this school never let me down. If there was a bully they would take care of it immediatly. I learn so much every day and I wish every year wouldn't end. The gym and cafeteria is ginormous and the school itself is huge. This is a school that you will never doubt. If you start failing which I doubt you won't there is our leap program.

Both of my sons attended Mansfield Elementary School. In my opinion the teachers and staff are superb. I can not complain about any one teacher either of my sons had during their time in ES. The teachers in 5 and 6 grade are great, they truly prepare the students for middle school.

This school just happens to be in my area. I had never known about this school until I moved here some years ago.

The teachers and parents truly have the children's best interest at heart. My son is in 3rd grade and I have not had a single teacher that has not given 100% to his well being and education. I actually hire them to tutor in the summer because of their excellent results. As a parent giving your child to someone else for 6-8 hrs. a day is a hard thing to do, I am very thankful and have piece of mind that my child is safe and secure in his school while away from me.

The teaching staff is amazing. Each year I don't think my son could have a better teacher and I am proven wrong. This year Mr. Zimmer has really turned my son's thoughts on school around. He now loves going to school and getting there early, has a goal to become an engineer and is actually looking foward to an extended tutoring session with his current teacher to maintain what he's learned throughout the summer. The school overall is excellent. It is one of the main reasons I moved from Central Jersey to Northern Burlington County.
