I do believe is a GREAT school; I have 3 kids and my older son graduated from this school...However, so far this year does not look like is going to be a good year. My son is a 4th grader and he is an honor student. He has been picked on...not from a student from a leadership and staff members which these are the people who he looks up to. As a parent I am very disappointed how some of the misunderstanding and issues has been handled with my son. Not everything is perfect like is presented....Is not a good feeling when your child feels intimidated :(

I LIKE ANN STREET SCHOOL BECAUSE IT HAS EXELLENT TEACHERS AND THIS "SCHOOL" DEMANDS THE STUDENTS TO HAVE RESPONSABILITY. FINALLY, ANN STREET IS A GREAT SCHOOL BECAUSE IT HAS MRS. RICHARDSON AS A PRINCIPAL.

Ann Street School is a magnet school and is an example for all schools. My kid gets up in the morning with a strong sense of wanting to go to school to learn. He has a goal of becoming super honor roll which he thrives for. At home he has a strong sense of completing homework as soon as he gets home. Demostrates strong dedication towards education which impresses me. When a school gives kids a strong example of being respectful, of being responsible and get a good education which is the school's moto, kids due excel and compete to reach that super honor roll goal. I'm very happy my kids attends Ann Street School.

My son is an Ann St student. He is an honor student. After studying at Ann St. School he improved his behavior and his grades. He got 223 in Language, Art and Literacy and 299 in Math at the NJ Assessment of Skills and Knowledge .Ann St. team are making a great job. They deserve all prizes.

—Submitted by a parent
My daughter went there for prek and kindergarten. She left because we moved. She received a fantastic education. Her teachers at the Ann Street Annex were top notch. Ms. Rizzo and Ms. Gamba are by far two of the most wonderful teachers I have ever come in contact with. My daughter left Kindergarten reading and writing a two page book report, something she isn't really doing yet in second grade. Hats off to a wonderful group of teachers at Ann Street. You win my vote!!
—Submitted by a parent

Welcome to GreatSchools!
For principals and school officials, we offer a special Enhanced School Profile (ESP) which allows you to update and add information about your school, as well as respond to reviews. If you are a school official, click Continue to start.
Please note that it can take up to 48 hours for your comment to be posted to our site. While you're here, we'd like to invite you to fill out a survey on your school's programs, activities, and extracurriculars. It only takes a few minutes and will help parents get a full picture of your school.
Continue to compare the schools you have already selected or Edit schools to change your selection.
Get started now! You have successfully registered and can now start updating your Official School Profile. The information you provide is extremely valuable in helping parents and students learn more about your school, so thanks for taking the time!
