29 School is a wonderful school! The teachers are very involved with the children's academic success, the administrators are understanding, and they are all willing to work with parents to make sure that our kids are a success... no wonder they were a Title I Distinguished School for 2004. Mrs. Harbace, the principal, has worked with my son, who has a harder time in school than his little sister, and I am ever grateful for her help!

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.
