5 E Willard Ave, Strathmere, NJ 08248

Two of my children have gone through this school. Teachers are somewhat pleasant and seem to communicate ok. My oldest is IEP but despite having major struggles he wasn't diagnosed until age 7 and provided an IEP. The school has gone through at least 4 principles in less than 6 years, which leads me to believe there are some board of ed issues. This year I have seen a steady decline in staff and teacher morale. Many school extras have been cut, but I can say they have made an attempt to update security systems and replace playground equipment also expand the parking lot. I would like to see some of the older teachers retire and bring in some new staff solely because the older teachers just seem flat out exhausted and it's obvious. School lunches are ok. Overall it's a decent community with minimal ethnic diversity. I do feel the school and child study team make a significant effort to stay abreast of your child's education goals for differently able children.
