Pitman, NJ 08071

I grew up here and my son had originally gone to elementary school in the district but work caused us to move away. We have recently been able to come back. After living in a Blue Ribbon, massive, top-4-in-the-state-of-Pennsylvania school, I can say coming back to Pitman was the right choice. People don't seem to understand that political correctness and test taking are now part of the requirements for education. But I can say that, in PMS, they do everything they can to actually TEACH a child, listen to and respond to concerns, and create a community of solid citizens. My son went from lost in the shuffle with an 504 plan to being a competent, responsible learner who excelled in subjects we never thought he'd have a chance in. All of this within 3 months of our arrival into the district. Naysayers need to put their comments in perspective and realize that, for a tiny borough, Pitman does it right!

This school has been great for my son. When we moved, I worried about the small size of the school but it has been an amazing plus for my kid. He has been able to form relationships with staff, and students that he could not at our larger former district. He has so many options to participate in sports and clubs afterschool with out competing with large groups for a spot. The school feels like an extension of the community, and we are so glad we chose a small town school district where my kid was embraced! I hope this school stays small because there are just so many pros to this type of learning environment for so many of the kids in town! Great school, teachers, and student body!

I've lived in town for years and have known multiple kids who went through the Pitman school district. Small class sizes and some really caring and wonderful teachers! The new principal has done an amazing job of bringing some order and respect to the school. They don't have all of the fancy gadgets and resources, but for such a small town and school, it does well with providing the kids with everything they need.
