This is my kids first year going here. I have a 3rd grader in school #1 and an 8th grader in school #3. My kids have never been happier! The teachers and guidance counselors are amazing! They are on top of everything. My kids came from Eastampton school and it was horribly run over there. Here they get the extra help they need which was not even offered at their old eastampton school. They are now thriving and happy with great grades and a lot of friends. I cannot say one bad thing about this school!!

First year my daughter absolutely loves it. Shes so excited every day. Learning a ton!

School 2 has become very political in my opinion. There does not seem to be a lot of teaching. Southampton School 2 has below standard goals that they fail to achieve. It is all about funding. Case in point all students now are required to go to RTI, even if they do not need it, they all have to do it. The bullying policy is not followed or backed up by teachers or staff, especially when you point out that a teacher is the source of the bullying. I have a child in school 1 and a child in school 2. We looked at our children's work throughout the year and thought the lessons were sub-par so we went and toured 3 other schools in our area this spring. I recommend that more parents should do this and look at where other schools are compared to Southampton. You will see Southampton schools are doing the bare minimum required by the state. Example: By the time a student in another school starts 6th grade they know basic American and world history as well as have firm knowledge and understanding of the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. It is June 13 2017 and my 5th grade child knows none of it, never been taught any of it. Fact the 5th grade class is on chapter 4 of their American history book, that is teaching about native Americans. That right, chapter 4, with 7 days of school left for the year. The teachers are more interested in assigning homework and lessons they do not have to actually teach during the day. That is why we are pulling our children out of Southampton and moving them to another school. The issue is they both my children have a lot of work to do this summer to get caught up to where they need to be.

I moved my daughter out of Tuckerton, where she attended pinelands regional school district that failed her and her two siblings. The best thing I ever did was move out to Chatsworth and allow her a chance that a future at Seneca high school. He is graduating Rowan university next week with a 4.0 GPA with her bachelors degree. All thanks to Seneca and her guidance counselor in pushing college from the day she walked into that school in ninth grade.
