Montclair Kimberley Academy is my school and I have visited Roseville school. The children there love it in their school and the teachers make it such a nurturing environment. The children are very smart and can learn new topics with ease. They seem so happy to be there and if the school was closed they would be heart broken. Not only does Roseville educated the children, it acts as a home for them. These kids have problems at home. They have told me about their bad home life. They need Roseville. The school really helps the kids grow through life. Even though i have only been to Roseville 2 times, I would also be heart broken to see these kids having to be split apart from each other.

I am very please with Roseville Ave. School. The teachers are very concern about the students progress. I like the fact that it is a small school. The principal and the staff are very approachable.

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.
