Though the rating scared us in the beginning, the school is great, and teachers are wonderful. We had a great experience with both our son and daughter there.

I have to say my child has been at the school for 3 years and unfortunitly we had two good years and one bad year. Some of the teachers are very good and some are just unbelievable and are in patient. To me their are some people there that are prejudice. Some of the staff is rude and like to assume they know everything and some are ok. I can say this year was a good year so far. I wish they were more considerable towards the children and had more compassion towards there jobs. so i have mixed emotions towards this school.

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.
