Posted January 15, 2005

Our family just moved to P'burg this year and my son had no problem LOVING his new school from the first day. The teachers are very kind and they stay well connected to the parents which is very important to me. Everyone I have met at the school from the nurse, the admins, principal and teachers are very helpful and they all enjoy their jobs. The school also provides the kids with many fun activities and motivations to help the kids love learning. Things that his other school never did and that makes a differnce to him. Kids loved to be rewarded and this school does just that. I am very happy with Green St School.

About the tests

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.
