Dwight Morrow High

There is a huge new gym and auditorium. The principal is amazing and inspirational. My son has learned so much in his years at Hoover. I would highly recommend this school. The PTA is very involved and has put together some great programming for the kids. I think it is the best run school in Bergenfield.

The experience I had with my kid was awesome! Her teachers were great, she loved it. They provide the kids with tablets for remote learning, there's small classes so they get individual attention and each class got 2 teachers plus teacher assistants. Kindergarten focused on teaching them how to read, write, and early math. But they also taught them art, music, and science.The principal also did a reading Instagram for the kids once a week and the school provided the tablets and wifi hotspots for kids that needed them.

Community oriented. Hands on learning. Fun. Rigorous curriculum. My two children now 6 and 8 are very happy at The Ability School.

EXCELLENT school. We LOVE it. My daughter loves going there everyday. The school is like a big family, great community with very nice parents all around. The directors and teachers love their job and my daughter gets lots of love and attention. Even though the school building is in the church, the school is not religious. They celebrate all the holidays etc... Parents COOP which means you help the teacher once a month or so... which is an amazing opportunity to share your kids experience at shool. You learn so much and appreciate teachers dedication and hardwork! Kids learn through play, they also have gym, music, library classes... and a nice playground. I can't say enough good things about the school. Check it out!

I went to this school from 3 years old to 6th grade, and my experience was nothing but positive until social issues arose between me and another student. I was completely outcasted and bullied by my peers as a result. I made multiple documented complaints about the situation and nothing was done in response. This went on for months and I was depressed during the time. The school’s solution was to put me in a room with the offending student and the guidance counselor (who was later terminated), and called it a mediation. It was not a mediation and I left the school at the end of the year. That student was never reprimanded and was involved in more documented cases of bullying (most likely thanks to her high profile family) Now that I attend another independent high school that is run well, it sheds light on how terrible this administration was and still is.
