Horrid. this school is Horrid there's fluids all over the lockers, people cursing and getting bullied, horrible staff members horrible everything.
Posted by a student on 1/27/2025The worst school in Elizabeth Nj please don't send your kids here
Posted by a parent on 5/16/2019The principal shows NO concern in the issues of bullying. It completely feels like you are talking to a wall and everything is getting brushed off to the side. Best thing you can do is put your child in a different school.
Posted by a parent on 6/16/2016The principal is horrible and the kids use foul language, my kids just started here and am looking to move to a better area. Warning don't bring your kids to this school.
Posted by a parent on 9/29/2015I have gone to this school since fourth grade. I am in middle school now and i just got my locker. I like going to this school because they have after school but i don't go and they have the arts program. Most of the teachers care. My school could improve the level of test like the work needs to

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWent to this school my whole life doesn't take anything serious and gives students the same punishment to matter how bad there action was. I don't go to this school anymore the only good thing is the friends and the memories you can make also kids do inappropriate stuff yet the staff and teachers never find out.Student Review1y ago - Number 1, George Washington Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teachers want to feel superior to the parents. When asked to speak privately they act as if you are the issue. I don’t understand, would they rather a non engaged non concerned parent so they have something to gossip about? I will be happy when I move out of this neighborhood.Parent Review8mo ago - Number 2, Winfield Scott Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is by far the WORST school that I have ever dealt with. They make absolutely no accommodations for children with special needs and instead they suggest that the child complies to what they think they should be doing. They are completely unprofessional and very uneducated. They give you absolutely no resources to what your child is entitled to by law you have to do your own research and ask (demand)for what your child is entitled to by the district. The principal makes absolutely no effort into accommodating the child the social worker doesn’t entail anything of what your child deserves and needs instead follow a guideline and give you the bare minimum to help them. THE WORST !!!!!Parent Review5y ago - No 22 William F Halloran

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am a student at William F Halloran currently and it’s a nice school learning is enforced pretty well but the students enthusiasm isn’t. Kids don’t want to learn, I know 5-7th grade kids can be, well difficult but the teacher are nice. Security is good aswellStudent Review1y ago
