Really wonderful teaching, and i love my son's school. He really enjoys to go to the school. The teachers explain everything so nicely. I love my community also.

Excellent school. We moved from another state where the schools were very good and i was worried about the quality of this school here in Mount Laurel but i think we made the right decision. Great School and great teachers

My child loved this school! The teachers and staff were lovely and accomodating, the layout was nice and secluded, the schedule was nicely controlled and not too harsh, and I really do approve of everything that Robert Smith does. I am very satisfied with the education and safe, comfortable environment that this school has provided my child with these past few years.

I was spoiled because my son attended the most awesome school in West Palm Beach, FL -- Binks Elementary School. So now it's hard to compare Countryside. I love that the class sizes are small, the teachers are great. Caring and open to parent's feedback. The principal, Mr. Smith actually invites students to his office to eat lunch with him and they chat. The learning is inspiring yet sometimes I think it's too hard for a 2nd grader. There is an active PTO which I am involved in. They are planning to have babysitters next year so single parents can take their children to the meeting.

My younger son is currently attending Countryside and my older son went through Countryside from grades 1 through 4. I love this school from the staff to the principal to the parent involvement. I have been thrilled to be able to have my children attend such a nurturing and well-rounded school. THe family environment is so warm and comfortable. It is so easy to feel secure sending your kids there everyday. The principal knows everyone and the staff works so well together and with the parents and students. I have three more years here and am already sad at the prospect of not being involved with this school.

Excellent nuturing enviroment for learning. The prinicipal is one of the best of any school anywhere. He is hands on and knows virtually all of the 450+ students by name. The teaching staff is great as well. The teachers assistants and aides care for the children as if they were their own. It must be one of the best public schools in NJ. Parents are very much involved as well. Too bad it only goes up to 4th grade.
