My son received an excellent education at Grant. While we were often dismayed by all the homework and all intense preparation for state tests, that is a common complaint of many parents at good schools. We feel fortunate that Grant had such wonderful teachers.

My son has an excellent 1st grade teacher who goes above and beyond her job requirements. My only complaint is the lack of supervision on the drop off/pick up line.

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.
