I have a child attending East End School and she has had excellent teachers. The teachers are caring and attentive to the children's needs and make very effort to communicate with the parents. My child's teachers have all been thoughful and take time to really assess what is best when deciding next steps for her academic progress. East End has a core group of very involved parents that make time for events and projects with the children and we hope others will join us. Together all of our children succeed!

Why are all the good teachers leaving? E. E. is definitely not what it used to be. The daily communication among students would be rated an R on any given day. Stronger disciplinary action should be taken at school and home.

My son attended 1 through 4th grades. We found all his teachers, without exception, to be dedicated, hardworking and made extra efforts to communicate with us and help him move forward. He was in special education all 4 years and we were pleased with those services as well.

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.
