I moved to enroll my son in the Medford School System and I am glad that I did. My son loves the teachers and learning is fun and challenging for him. Every evening he can talk for hours about the things he learned, and it gives me an idea how the teachers go out of their way to make these kids want to learn more. I am so impressed with the progress my son has made in a short time and how much he enjoys school. thank you, Haines School!

Students are engaged in classroom activities, can apply concepts to life experiences, and discipline is not an issue. Families are supportive and involved, as is administration. Teachers are involved in many activities outside the classroom and continuous ongoing professional development.

About the tests

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.
