The John Hill School is an amazing school. My child is thriving in this environment. The administration is actively involved walking around the building all day long. The principal even plays with the children at recess. All the staff and teachers are excellent and truly care about the well being of
Posted by a parent on 3/5/2025John Hill School demonstrates a blatant disregard for the safety and well-being of its students. While they have rules and policies in place, these are consistently ignored, undermining the students’ academic and personal development. The 7th grade guidance counselor exemplifies the school’s dysfunc

Posted by a parent on 4/8/2023This is a great school... they teach to respect and encourage. I like most of the teachers. But I do have some suggestions for them.1.

Posted by a parent on 2/13/2018The school does not help kids who are advanced. The focus is on kids that are performing below grade level. The administration does not communicate how they can accommodate more advanced children. In my opinion these kids fall through the cracks. In such a large school, it feels as if your child is

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy 5 yo loves this school. His teachers and school is really great and look after him very well. Mrs. Galluzzi is finest teacher and understands the need of each student and nurtures her students with personal attention to each one. Daily assignments are interesting and engaging and help students learn and understand. There are various activities conducted and as a volunteer got chance to attend and experience it from inside. Thumps up to everyone there and special thanks to Galluzzi and Figurelli !!!Parent Review3y ago - Boonton High School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy 3 kids went to BHS and all achieved high SAT scores. Two of them graduated from college, one with an engineering degree and one with a biology degree and BSN. The third one was accepted into numerous honors programs. This school has a great diverse student population, plenty of sports and extra curricular activities, and strives to continually improve the success of its students.Parent Review5y ago - School Street Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageLong time resident and parent of special ed student. Fair warning that the program here is outdated and your kid may be isolated and ashamed. My kid hates going to school because he misses out on anything fun. Teachers are great overall but administration and special ed staff are unwilling to make improvements. They say that it's a small district so it is what it is. Everyone's afraid of the principal including the teachers. IMO very poor school climate plus they don't engage parents so nothing changes. It's a shame because this used to be a great school years ago.Parent Review3y ago - Mustard Seed Montessori School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWithout the Lake Drive School, my daughter, who is hard of hearing and has several additional special needs, would not be where she is today - about to graduate Mountain Lakes High School and headed to college in the fall. I still remember my first meeting at Lake Drive with her. It was a large conference table of more than 15 or 20 people, all there to figure out how best to take care of my child. I was so amazed and so touched and felt confident that she was going to get the best education possible from professionals who truly cared. My son went to Lake Drive as part of the integrated pre-school and learned so much about empathy, friendship, responsibility, and compassion. He left Lake Drive at five as a smart, kind, confident, and considerate child with the people skills to succeed in life.Parent Review6y ago
