School #14

The parents teachers and administration all care greatly for the students. While we are a very diverse population, everyone gets along and people work together toward the same goal of graduation and successful students. There is no other school districts in NJ that compares to Clifton in diversity. This past year there were at least 10 students that went to top schools such as Harvard and Yale. Last year's youth of the year, which is a nationwide effort, was given to Clifton's own Carlos Polanco which shows what a truly remarkable school system we have in town.

We love this school. The principal is a phenomenal leader who reinforces and instills the values of kindness, respect and responsibility. The school is the model school for the PBSIS (Positive Behavior Support in Schools) which is a collaboration between the New Jersey Department of Education Office of Special Education and The Boggs Center, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. The teachers are organized, responsive and believe in the importance of the parent/teacher collaboration and from kindergarten support a life-long love of learning. The parent teacher organization is active and supports numerous field trips/assemblies for the students. Our child is thriving at this school and we love the small class size/amazing neighborhood close to the library/playground.

I have very good experience with New Bairn School. My two sons love to be in that school.Teachers and staff are very friendly and helpful to the kids. My son’s learn a lot in the school because teachers are very professional. Thank you very much:)
