This is a giant factory without enough conveyor belts. The school is too small and has been for a long time. If your child is in AP classes or above average then they will be treated like gold. For the average student they will suffer. You cannot get an appointment with someone until there is some sort of crisis. My daughter almost wet her pants because she had to go to the bathroom and the bathrooms are locked at all times. No more than 3 students can go in at a time. Teachers have to sit and scan students in to go to the bathroom like they are checking out merchandise at Walmart. In a school district where many of the students are from other countries why are all the teachers and staff white? The same is true when you go to the board of education to register your child for school. Everyone is white there. When I attended parent/teacher conferences the majority of teachers talked down to me as though I am stupid. Just because I don't have a degree in chemistry or math does not mean I am dumb. I am happy that we left and my daughter now attends parochial school.

Overall good school but they gotta be more relatable to the students because they just have drama all the time and counseling solves like 30% of the problem.

We love this school. The principal is a phenomenal leader who reinforces and instills the values of kindness, respect and responsibility. The school is the model school for the PBSIS (Positive Behavior Support in Schools) which is a collaboration between the New Jersey Department of Education Office of Special Education and The Boggs Center, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. The teachers are organized, responsive and believe in the importance of the parent/teacher collaboration and from kindergarten support a life-long love of learning. The parent teacher organization is active and supports numerous field trips/assemblies for the students. Our child is thriving at this school and we love the small class size/amazing neighborhood close to the library/playground.
