I presently have a child enrolled and love this school. It is very family oriented and encourages parental involvement. I like that there is not too many kids in each class and the town is pretty much built to capacity, so it'll stay that way.

Posted April 14, 2006

I attended this school as a student and recently had the experience of having a student enrolled in this school. Things have not changed much. Parents need to fight for the assistance their children need. Policy guides much of the decision-making, even when it is not what is best for the student. There are teacher who care, and those who are temporary. The difference in attitude is aparant. Change must begin within the administration.
—Submitted by a former student

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.
