The Wood Acres School

Wonderful school with caring educators who believe in their students and in creating a healthy, inclusive learning environment. The school has been wonderful and life changing for my child who has an IEP! Highly recommend!

This is an absolutely terrible school. We went out of our way to move here from elsewhere in the state specifically because of its good reputation, but my child has been subjected to bullying and faces racial discrimination from the teachers themselves. They refuse to listen to a single word my child says—not to mention that they completely ignore emails I send as a parent, even regarding simple questions about field trips.No matter how many times I pleaded with the homeroom teacher, explaining that my child was suffering because other kids were making fun of them for not being able to speak English, the teacher did absolutely nothing. On the contrary, they went so far as to deliberately assign my child a seat right next to the very bully who was tormenting them. This is truly a despicable school. Everyone, please be careful.

I have had such an amazing experience at Murdock Elementary! Such a sweet school with small classroom sizes and excellent direct communication with the teachers. I now have 5th, 3rd and K and couldn’t be happier.

Tritt Elementary has been an amazing school for our family. The teachers and staff truly care about every student and create a welcoming, supportive environment where kids can thrive.What makes Tritt so special is the incredible community. The PTA brings families together through fun events and volunteer opportunities, while the Tritt Tiger Foundation (TTF) provides funding for technology, classroom resources, and programs that enrich every child’s education.We’re so grateful to be part of the Tritt family and highly recommend this school to any family looking for a strong academic experience and an outstanding community.

We have had such a wonderful experience at this school. The teachers are incredibly kind, caring, and passionate about their students, and it shows in everything they do. The academics are strong and engaging, while the school also does an amazing job of creating a true sense of community. Events like the Spring Festival, Dance Party, and Walk to School Day bring families together and make the school feel like such a special place. We are so grateful to be part of this community!

One of the area's best kept secrets.

I attended MBCA from K-8th as a student, and now I am a teacher here as well. My experience has been nothing short of extraordinary! This is a very special place with a heart for their students. The skills I learned at Mt. Bethel have carried me throughout my adult life. Working here as a teacher is an incredible experience since admin and families are supportive and nurturing. I can't recommend this school enough!

My family attended school from Pre-K through 3rd grade, and I wish I could revisit those years. After switching to a more conventional school, my children fell significantly behind. Their earlier environment was magical, full of outdoor activities, creativity, and kid-appropriate opportunities, but they missed key learning fundamentals—particularly in ELA, like basic sentence structure. Additionally, some topics discussed were not suitable for their age. I was considered too conservative, but I simply want to introduce certain topics and subjects at home. The school was not supportive, despite all they talk about!
