Quinton Township Elementary School

This school's administration cares SOLEY for the NJASK scores. They have tailored the curriculum to teach based only on what is questioned on the NJASK tests, rather than what our children need to learn for "life". It's all a numbers game and nothing else. There are teachers that spend two whole weeks reviewing for tests, only to have them be open book. Then if the child still receives a less than satisfactory grade they are given the chance to retake the test. I've seen students that fail to complete the necessary coursework, yet are still being promoted to the next grade level. Students are pressured about state testing, when they should be focusing a general education. These standardized tests are not going to help any child excel through life. The school also has a uniform dress code. However, it is taken to such an extreme, that teachers are spending time each morning asking students if they are dressed properly, and if not, they are then written up and sent to the principal's office. Obvious violations are one thing, however singling out a child for not wearing a belt (especially when they are to wear fitted pants to start with) is a distorted use of power.
