Miserable experience for both of my kids. Principal is such a poor role model. Counselor’s do not care. While my kids did have some good teachers, I had to spend thousands of dollars on tutors for the teachers that didn’t care. This free public education was not free for me. The building is in complete disrepair. My kids do not have fond memories of this high school at all.

Lalor Elementary was awarded NJ School of Character in 2023 for their character-building programs.*Lalor students become kind and caring citizens through a focus on social-emotional learning and character education in a Responsive Classroom.*All Lalor Elementary School students develop a learning mindset and motivation needed to be highly engaged and innovative learners.*Students, staff, and families at Lalor Elementary School build a culture of respect that celebrates diversity for a more connected, safe, and welcoming school community.

Classrooms are overcrowded, teachers are stressed out and use inappropriate language and tone of voice with the students. The students are not held accountable for their negative behaviors which goes on every day, all day. Children are cursing at each other in front of teachers telling other students to shut the "f' up and teachers ignore it. Students are fighting, hitting, shoving each other and nothing is done by the personnel. I would not recommend anyone sending their child to this school. I'm on my second child attending this school, my child has 2 more years and I am already looking into having my child attend an alternative school. I do not want my child attending this school next year. Children who want to learn and get an education are not able to because of the significant amount of negative behaviors by other students not being addressed. Teachers spend more time trying to gain the attention of their overcrowded classroom then they spend on actual instruction. If you are moving to the area, just make sure your child does not have to attend this middle school.
