It is a great school. I went there and loved it. The teachers taught me so much and made it fun to learn. We had many fun days at school, and great field trips. We also had tons of assembly, and I loved being in them. It is a terrific 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.
