This school has really helped my child with his reading disability. Great Special education department! We have experience with another so called top district that did not help my child the way he needed, so we moved to the millburn district. Deerfield is top notch!

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.
