I have been consistently impressed by the caring nature and quality of education provided by Grandview school. They have given my children a wonderful foundation for learning that I believe will stay with them for the rest of their lives.

Academics are state of the art, extracurricular activities are plentiful and parents play a huge part in running programs, serving lunch, doing library assistant duties and joining in on many celebrations and educational activities. I think the school is nurturing, the students are kind and considerate and there is an air of protection and love that is evident to all. the teachers are in tune with the parents and they communicate well.

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.
