Island Heights Elementary School

My daughter came over from Bayville School, and the education and acceptance she receives is incredible. She’s doing so well in her classroom, and all the staff members are so incredibly nice and always willing to help. Compared to Bayville School, this small town school is SO much better. My daughter gets her work done, can understand it because of the smaller class sizes, and the teachers WANT TO TEACH, and want the best for every student. Thank you OG school!!

Every teacher at EDE has been awesome!

My son has learned new things this year and I can only attribute that to his main teacher. I would not say he is excited about it but learning all the same. I cannot attest to the rate of learning as compared to other schools. The safety standards at this school are minimal at best. The professionalism is only there if you do not challenge anything the school staff have done. If you try and challenge the staff, even with a legitimate complaint, the professionalism is gone, and the staff does everything to protect their own, even when their own is wrong. The principal, educated maybe, but does not have the capacity to properly run a school. The standards of NJ public schools need to be reassessed, as well as the staff.

Beware!!! They enable bullying and tiptoe around concerned issues like it’s nobody’s business. My 5 year old came home depressed everyday, they strive for perfection and have no room for kids with learning disabilities. Every parent I’m friends with who’s child goes here still, had to change their class due to a bully in their classroom!! They have too many kids in this school that they can’t truly support. As soon as we moved to a different location and my child changed schools, she’s so happy and doing SO WELL in her new class and school!

We have been nothing but happy with Potter. From virtual school, to preschool to Kindergarten, the teachers and staff have been nothing but accepting, inclusive and loving to my children. I love it!
