My children went through both, elementary (Kresson) and Voorhees Middle School ( VMS). To my opinion Kresson is a mixed bag. However, it went down in early writing and math skills as classes seems to me became larger and the schools do not have enough teachers do development critical thinking and learning skills. The school district is eager to promote an Early Sex education among elementary school age children under a Health Education curriculum, and has staff for those type of lessons. Please be aware that parents can opt out the Sex Ed part if desired. The opt out forms can be requested through your district school administration and must be submitted by September 22nd, 2025. I wish we would have a voucher option to be able to afford to take our 6-year-old son to a private or a Catholic school to avoid an exposure to undesired information pushed by public schools in New Jersey

I am a current high school student (who is now enrolled in a different district) that attended VMS for ONE (1) year. During the very short amount of time that I spent as a student at VMS, my brother and I were routinely harassed, ridiculed, and threatened. As well as this, I experienced being called a variety of slurs, being physically assaulted, and being sexually harassed nearly EVERY DAY because of my sexual orientation and gender identity. The bullying and harassment has caused me to develop a handful of mental disorders as a result of the trauma I endured. I was hospitalized several times due to mental health complications. Even with my parents screaming and begging the principal to do something, no punishments were given. My parents eventually stopped fighting and enrolled me in a different school to protect my life. I am now working through complex trauma that could have been avoided if admin took my situation seriously. Avoid VMS at all costs.

Great school, I highly recommend to any parent
