Ocean Gate Elementary School

Great school if your child is a good student. Not enough: special education teachers with modern training & credentials, support staff with same, up to date resources, materials & interventions for below average & special ed kids. Community & Administration is evidently more interested in keeping taxes flat than meeting the needs of kids other than those who can keep up appearances by scoring well on state tests. The lure of the small neighborhood school may be tempting, but Beware. If your kid can't learn the old fashioned way, it will be a struggle for your child and you if you attempt to advocate. Rocking the boat is forbidden!

Ocean Gate School was awarded the "Blue Ribbon" distinction earlier this school year. An accomplishment that less than 3% of the schools nationwide have attained. What a wonderful learning environment for my grandson. Each child is treated like the individual they are. The faculty and staff impart a love of learning and mutual respect to every person. Strong community involvement is encouraged. As you can see, I can't say enough good things about this school.

Ocean Gate school is very family and community oriented. The teachers and administrators care for and teach our children as if they were their own, which is how it should be. When educators are that vested in the children, you can actually see the children and community shine and the beginning of a very bright future.

My child attended a Catholic Sschool befor the Ocean Gate Elementary School. I was a little nervous when I made the change. Since my child has been there she is a better reader, is treated with respect and her morals have never been compromised by othe students. The teachers and children are kind. The administration also very professional.

When I moved to Ocean Gate and went to the school to have my children enrolled I was personally welcomed by the Principal and my childs teacher. What a great family atmosphere!
