Wallace No. 6 Elementary School

The school has many great teachers and puts many resources into helping children with varying learning competencies. There is a lot of parent inclusion and the administration is very proactive about communicating with parents and caregivers.

Wallace has it all! Smart, energetic staff, safe, clean building and nice kids. The school provides a strong traditional education presented in a creative way. The children are expected to dig deep and they do. We are very happy.

Wallace is in major turnaround. The current Principal was permitted to 'clean house' now has a teaching staff comprised mostly of young, enthusiastic teachers. Educated professionals with kids in Hoboken increasingly want to stay: the private schools in town are ok, but there's no Dalton, the Charters get uneven reviews and Wallace has begun attracting a 'new crowd.' My child is in accelerated reading and math, and is thriving socially and academically. Teachers encourage communication with parents, I've always had their email addresses.

Hoboken Schools have been in a crisis for decades. This current principal was the Principal at the Hoboken High School and Middle School. Each school has performed below avg. in all areas. The town itself is thriving. The present administration has done a disservice to the communtiy and much too much importance has been placed on Football as the Redwings are consistantly #1 in their division - for this the adminstration is Most proud.

Wallace follows a traditional curriculum focusing on reading (including phonics), math, writing, spelling, science. Extras include art, music, computer, Spanish. The teachers are exceptional - smart, well-trained, caring and nurturing. The students wear uniforms, take weekly spelling tests, follow the rules. My kids love it and have excelled since kindergarten.

This school has a great idea of keeping the children safe and the standards of their learning, but you give a 8 year old massive of homework and tell them that they're going to get retained. I really don't think that's the appropriate way of encouraging your students. So on my overall look of the school this one teacher has discourage me a whole lot.
