I have four children in Gloucester Twp. Elementary School. Each teacher that my children have had have been absolutely wonderful. I can tell they truly care for my kids and their academic advancement. One of my children had a very difficult time with comprehension. His first grade teacher suggested

I also have a child who has autism and has been mainstreamed in this school. He has a shadow in the classroom. His teacher understands him and is there as soon as he gets frustrated (which is rare). Her ability to get him to focus and explain to her how he feels is very impressive. The teachers are always there whenever you need them! I love GTES! Read less

My daughter is in her last year at Glouster Township Elementary School. It has been the best experience for her. The Principal and the Staff are the Best the Township has to offer! I think the education is unmatched in any other elementary school in the district. It is a very hands on school, where the
