My daughter struggled in school until we moved to Lopatcong and she started going to Lopatcong Middle School. She absolutely loves her teachers and fellow students.

This is an excellent school. It's brand new, and there are plenty of classrooms and teachers. All of the teachers are very brilliant, and they make sure that your child is working to their best ability. They have a wonderful principle who makes the best calls. They also have numerous clubs and extracurricular activities.
