I love Cherry Hill School because it is such a warm, loving and nurturing environment. The staff is wonderful as is the PTO. It also has a wonderful Autism program where my son is thriving. Cherry Hill has it all!

I love our school because our kids are in a safe and loving environment that nurtures our children to reach for the stars. Our children are taught to do for others, be kind to each other, volunteer, and to be GREEN and look after our planet. The teachers, staff, administration and the parents all work together to make Cherry Hill School the best elementary school in NJ!

My daughter has attended CHS since 1st grade and is graduating this year from 6th grade. She loves the school. I believe that most of her teachers have been excellent. They are demanding, but fair; also very supportive and encouraging. They do give a lot of HW, but overall excellent for motivating kids to high achievement.

Great new kindergarten. Love the new building. Good school overall. I like special teachers, too like the art teacher and computer teacher.

I taught in River Edge for two years. During my short stay there I found that the success of the students was based on the hard work of the administration, teachers, non professional staff and the paretns. I am sorry to have moved out of the area.
