I graduated from CHS and felt well prepared for my college experience, and have since gone on to law school. The core curriculum includes options such as Latin, and several AP options. I do think the school falls short in addressing the level gaps between Collingswood students and students from the receiver schools, which are behind compared to the Collingswood elementary schools.

Excellent public school with a variety of extra curricular activities, great teachers.

We are now in 3rd grade at Garfield and we could not be happier with the education our child receives. Our youngest will be entering Kindergarten in the fall and we are excited to finally have both our children at Garfield together. Not only does our child receive a fantastic education but all of the teachers, as well as the school's principal, are so helpful and easy to talk to. We love our community and close-knit town. We are very fortunate to live where we do and to attend a school that is looking out for our child's best interest. If you need before or after school care, the Just Kids program at Garfield is top notch. Our child is very happy there and we could not be happier with the care he receives through them.

Mark Newbie Elementary is the best elementary school in Collingswood. This school is all inclusive and welcomes parental input. Newbie has given my children a strong educational foundation and has taught my children to be kind to others. We love this school!

My son is going to the 3rd grade this year and he started in the 2nd. I must say he has overcome a lot of obstacles due to his learning disability. To have went to other school starting from kindergarten, it was hard for him to understand and learn on the level the state thinks he should have been. It took for me and Sharp school to get him the help he so badly needed because the other schools weren't listening to what I had to say about how he needed help. I am forever grateful for the staff. I love love love his teacher Ms. Curcio formally know as Ms. Proudfoot. If not for Sharp he would still be falling so far behind and I love the school staff for all the hard work they put into the students, families and community.

Our child has been at Tatem since 2020 and we have been extremely pleased. Every teacher we've encountered has been kind, very available to parents with questions or concerns, and willing to make accommodations or adjustments for kids with special needs. The principal greets the children as they arrive in the morning and knows every single kid by name. The school does a lot to foster a culture of kindness and there are numerous events for kids and families throughout the year. I have heard negative feedback about one or two teachers, but since that hasn't been our experience, I really can't speak to it. The complaint from another reviewer about there not being a stage is just bizarre. By and large the elementary schools hold large events like year-end concerts at the Middle School, which has a great auditorium and stage (the middle and high schools both have fantastic theater programs.) All students have music twice a week and art and ASL once a week. Collingswood is growing, especially now that we have free Universal Pre-K (extremely attractive to parents with young kids, as some nearby towns don't have pre-k and only have half day kindergarten.) As a result of this growth, space is an issue. However, the township is actively working on a plan to expand capacity, and they've kept classes at a reasonable size, finding additional classroom spaces rather than making classes bigger.

We recently moved to Collingswood and became part of the Zane Family. Our 5 year old started Kindergarten and is excelling! When I say "excelling" I mean that we were concerned about moving to a completely new town and how it would affect our five year old. Our worries, have disappeared after he has repeatedly told us how much he loves his new school and by our own observations. Collingswood is a community and Zane is no exception. I know I'm starting to sound like an advertisement, but my wife and I were really worried.
