Mckenzie School

The Passaic system should stop teaching Spanish to its students so that the students can concentrate more on their English skills. I'm very shock that the system still teaches Spanish knowing their English is far inferior than the national average. Stop teaching Spanish.

Principal is horrible. Our son goes here and this is just not right! Since there is no diversity within the teachers and or staff it shows in how children learn. Washington Elementary has one reading specialist and the other Elementary school has seven specialists. This town is horrific with bullying because of race and demographics. Save your money move somewhere else!

All three of our kids went to this school and had a very good experience. The class sizes are small and that helps kids develop good connections and helps parents know other kids and parents as well.

Amazing school! Teachers offer after school help for students who need additional help, free of charge. Teachers reach out to parents via ClassTag to discuss grades and are readily available. Constant construction to improve the school. Community is very welcoming and safe. Numerous crossing guards at every corner to ensure students are safe when walking. The majority of the students are white; however, my son who is black and Hispanic has never felt out of place and loves his school. Cameras in the school hallways, staircases and outside. I had an issue once and the principal was able to check the footage and address the problem. Free summer after school for students who need additional help and the community has a free summer camp with multiple activities. Free sports teams for students with free uniforms.

The teachers kids got away with being the bullies of the classroom and if the other students fight back or speak out the will get detention and the bullies got away with name calling and cursing. Some teachers were sincere and really cared that was a handful, others weren't and played favorites especially if the students were a teachers/ staff member children/child. The food was not good at all they rubbed the kids money. The Principal was very unfair and unjustly.

Collegiate is a family run school that doesn't care about education. The curriculums and textbooks are years behind. Students aren't prepared according to the current educational standards for their grade level. Older students spend half the time lounging around and aren't prepared well for a life beyond high school. The school doesn't care about prepping its students to get into college and succeeding there. The current headmaster received her job from her mother who was the headmaster before her. She now employs her daughters, family friends, and college students who have little to no teaching experience as teachers. Private schools should have knowledgeable and experienced teachers and good resources for classes and extracurriculars. They should be places that guides your children as they grow into young adults. This school is more like a baby sitting service. Don't waste your money there.

This school does NOTHING about bullying teachers or students.
