Lindenwold Number 5 Elementary School

This school is NOT diverse, very old fashion, and not tuned with today's world. No Asian teachers, one Black teacher, No Spanish teachers. Mainly all white staff. When I had an issue they spoke to me rude and condescending because I'm Spanish. I would do research before moving to this town. My kid hates this school and it's sad because he is only in Kindergarten. He really miss his old school he cries every morning to go back to his old school. My kid also love giving hugs and he was told to keep his hands to himself because Covid. He came home so sad he really lost his excitement for school.

I use to be a student in Clementon Elementary school and I can whole heartedly say if you have the choice of another school, CHOOSE IT. The principal is disliked by his staff & students, the school is constantly filled with a horrendous sewage smell, the students are not safely kept from the littles in the hall (which is dangerous for both as a tripping hazard) and more. The teachers though are excellent! I cannot say enough about how amazing the teachers are in the midst of the chaos, while as you get into the older grades the teachers will NOT care for you or your child as much if they are 1. shy 2. struggling with grades (they are honestly ignored because you will NOT be held back) and 3. being bullied. If your student is struggling it’s not a problem at all because they won’t be held back or provided any extra support.

ruined my life horribly, i had to skip days because the stress of the immense amount of immature and toxic people and teachers..
