If I could give no stars I would. What a horrible school. Absolutely horrible. The bullying is so bad and the teachers / staff will just sit back and let it happen. It amazes me some of these teachers graduated high school never mind got their degree in teaching. They push their woke ojenda on stude
Posted by a parent on 2/24/2026This is the first year my girls attend this school (JK). They came from a big city, and large elementary school to this quaint suburban school. Everyone knows each other so it was a little challenging making new friends at the beginning. My experience has been wonderful. My children have ADHD and th

Posted by a parent on 8/17/2023Both of my children graduated from JK. One is a corporate attorney and the other is doing graduate work under a full fellowship. I think Milltown schools are doing a very good job educating our children.
Posted by a parent on 7/21/2013Joyce Kilmer is just average. There is no push for academic excellence. Teachers dress like average joes on the street, no professional dress - even jeans and flip-flop/sandals are allowed. That is distracting and disconcerting to students - seeing your teachers toes?

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIf I could give Lawrence Brook Elementary School a 10, I would. This school, the teachers, staff, principal, and security were a pleasure to deal with. Our daughter had an amazing educational and SEL experience here. Her teachers were so caring and gentle with her. Principal Dunn was AMAZING!!! We were saddened when the school went from K-5 to K-4 because we were looking forward to her spending her 5th-grade year here. We love how diverse the school community was. Our favorite was when the school had an international night before COVID-19. We will always have great memories of the school.Parent Review2y ago - Cornerstone Christian School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy kid has been enrolled here since he was 18 months old until kindergarten. I would happily extend if they had options for elementary, that is how much I love this school. The teachers are kind, smart, sensible and share a beautiful rapport with their students. Their knowledge, experience and the way they embrace Montessori principles are their true strength. Kids enjoy the school days and have shown a wonderful progress in all aspects and behaviors! I would recommend this school for anyone who is looking for a safe, beautiful start of schooling.Parent Review1y ago - Creative Nursery School
