This school is so great the kids start tomorrow (08/03/2009) & we parents are still viewing the 2008 school calander on their website. Oh and let's use all that budget money to renovate the whole school... even 'pave the playground' ,only it was paved 4months ago (who pockets that portion). They want

All schools received a stimulous package that was SUPPOSED to focus on curriculum and the childrens needs...we have the most basic curriculum in NJ, like that other mom said they do the bare minimum of basic skills. I must admit my child had 2 amazing teachers so far but the school itself puts limitations on those teachers for how outside the box they can go.

Two of my children went to this school for 5 years, combined. They had a good experience there and loved going to school. Academically, I think that they were challenged, for the most part. The arts and sports programs were good and there were many before and after school extra-curricular activities

My child is enrolled in Taylor Street and I have negative feelings about his educational surroudings. I find that important issues are not reported as well as conflicts with other children.
