Every single time I step onto these premises I am either harassed, my friends harassed, or treated like an insignificant glut by my peers or staff. I have never felt truly safe one day in this building especially as many of my friends and associates, hell, some people I have never even talked to consistently have been bullied or sexually harassed by a classmate in this school. The education is not the best, I am a junior learning freshmen material even though I'm supposed to be in a more advanced class. It is all stuff we did before too! This does not go for all classes but certain fields need to be improved. One of my teachers didn't even grade some of my assignments last year and I had to pay the price of that. This school has also removed and ( what feels like ) taunted the accommodations of students, especially ones who are autistic or have sensory issues. They refuse to let us sit in the library during pep rallies, forced us to replace headphones with earplugs ( which has not helped and even made my issues worse, this is proven so ), and changed the fire drill rule. Some students were allowed to go to the guidance office during the fire drills to avoid the loud bell but they removed that! You have to be "diagnosed" now to even have a slither of these accommodations. When I tried to get my accommodations they tried to talk me out of some of the stuff I wanted ( which was being able to work in the hallway for 5 minutes when I'm severely overwhelmed. ) The nurse is rude to students and refuses to do anything half the time, and the discipline is absolutely horrid. Remember what I said about my friends and I being harassed, turns out they reported this happening to them before and the school has done nothing about it, not even looking a small peak into it. The guidance office values grades over mental health in many cases and have even lied to me and my parent last and this year.And I cannot reiterate enough how poor the education is here. I do not think it is normal for there to be classes where over 70-80% of the students are failing. Even the teachers complain about it! And why am I learning middle school material? I try to be positive about the school and to look at the pros but the cons outweigh them for me. Coming here drains me so much and its not even just the social aspects, I am learning nothing in some classes just like last year. Everyday someone has something to complain about related to this place. I wish I could see it improve but it won't.

Olivet is a great school with fantastic and caring teachers. My daughter thrives here even with a learning disability. The teachers and principal truly care about the children’s education and well being. We couldn’t ask for a better school.

Pittsgrove Township Middle School offers diverse academic programs and extracurricular activities.

It’s a great school. Amazing teachers and staff but they should re-think the amount of homework they’re sending home with these children. It’s way too much.
