Spruce Run

Have been in this school district for a number of years starting with PreK. Overall, very happy with this school - sounds like significant improvements from last administration and the school appears to have increasing enrollment. My child is demonstrating significant educational growth and exceeding standards on all standardized testing as a result of the strong teacher engagement and support. Has been able to receive additional services with excellent counseling and support as well. I would strongly recommend this school.

High Bridge Elementary is under rated. Because of some recent state funding, the town offers a PUBLIC PreK progam for HB residents for 3 AND 4 yr olds. The ratio of teachers to kids is great and my kid gets a fully enriched educational experience before Kindergarden. (I do believe the goal is to bring up test scores and nip any early developmental challenges in the bud.)GENERALLY my kids come home and always talk about the interesting things they learned in class and seem to enjoy school.My children thus far have not complained about bullying and have blossoming friendships. My children's homework mainly consists of reading books for 30 mins nightly.I think HB does a good job of educating our kids but also still just lets them be kids without over valuing academic achievement. They have a really good balance.The one strange thing that was appoved for the 2022 school year was there was only one nurse to service both the elementary school and middle school (since the buildings are sort of close in proximity). However, most parents were not happy knowing there wasnt a nurse close by. I am not sure how this is resolved for 2023.
