This is NOT a good school. Our rating is 34% of our students are proficient. In 2005 it was 91% proficient. There is absolutely no leadership. The students struggle when they leave Fredon School. The school feels there is NO issue as test scores do not matter. Every year it gets worse...not better. We are rated the same as Camden and Newark Schools. Tell me test scores do not matter when our kids are struggling and the value of our homes go down!

Fredon School has been a great support and environment for my children. I have both younger and older children and I find the teachers to be outstanding. Particularly, the teachers that were just hired and changed for the 2010-2011 school year. This is an excellent school for those considering moving to Sussex County.
