Long Branch Elementary School

North shore has hired bullies to teach kids. One teacher told my kid that he deserves the bullying he receives by classmates because he’s “bad” but he has adhd and they treat kids with adhd so terrible. They have also singled out my kid and told the whole class that he failed a test and used it as an example to the other classmates on how not to fail tests. They’re impatient and lack compassion.

The school became a dedicated magnet only a few years ago. This is our first year. The principal and administration have gone far beyond what is required of them to make sure my son gets the best possible education for his level and I'm truly thankful for that.

This school administrators are the worst. They don't return calls and won't take the time to meet with the parents. The principle wonders why the kids are always misbehaving, but has to realize you can't separate the kids. I have never known a school to have a promotional ceremony for part of the 5th grade and a regular awards ceremony for the rest. Sometimes, you have to put yourself in the kids shoes and see how they feel. A lot of the kids have been looking forward to the day they graduate. Its an accomplishment for them, in which the ones in charge doesn't see that. Sometimes all it takes is for these kids to see that they have someone in their corner and see that they are not doing the work in vain, dor them to want to change their attitudes and behavior. I am disappointed in this school.

I would not recommend this school for anyone to send their children to.

The teachers are very professional, relatable, and passionate. My daughter loves going to this school. The classroom sizes are small and there are two teachers to every classroom. The office staff are friendly, professional, and proficient. The curricilum is amazing, I love this school!
