This school is excellent! I enjoyed substitute teaching at this school. The students and staff are very respectful of one another. As I walked through the halls to go to my prep or to pick up my students from special, the other classes were engaged in learning and being involved in their studies. Students walking in the hallways were in quiet straight lines! The Principal and school leader, Mrs. Marzene Bennett, exemplifies excellence with reference to the climate of the building. The children and teachers reflect the excellence of her leadership. Definitely THE BEST school in Trenton.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 New Jersey used the New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge (NJ ASK) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in language arts literacy and math, and in grades 4 and 8 in science. 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.
