New principal is turning this school around. New teachers brought in are energetic, understanding and helpful. My 2nd grader is thriving with her 1st year teacher who is full of innovative ideas and fun ways to help the kids learn!

Principal needs to be involved. He's all talk & no action.
—Submitted by a parent

Some parental involvement. No extra academic programs like honor roll or student of the month. Although this school tests okay, they do not encourage their kids to aim high. I transferred my son out of this school because there was more emphasis on coloring in the lines than on whether he had done all the addition problems correctly in the 1st grade. Also no homework given in the 1st grade! Overall friendly atmosphere but does not encourage their students to aim high.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 New Jersey used the New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge (NJ ASK) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in language arts literacy and math, and in grades 4 and 8 in science. 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.
