Posted April 29, 2008

Parents are very involved in this school, and because of that it gets a high rating. On it's own, it's a great school but it's no better than any others in the area. It seems like the town thinks the parents have an endless supply of money but we get very little in return compared to other towns. There's no busing, virtually no after school actitivities, the fields are terrible, the playgrounds marginal, the library small. Where does the money go?

Very impressed with this schoo. Has strong community involvement and a great academic program.

A great school with teachers that truly care about the kids. Strong emphasis on building character strength and kindness towards others. Mrs. Kirsch is an objective, no no-nonsense principal who interacts with the kids on a daily basis. High academic standards are expected and encouraged by all the teachers.

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.
