Such an excellent school. From the school culture to the staff efforts and student achievement I am so happy my daughter is graduating from here this year. Homework does not equivalate to achievement. My daughter does not bring home homework in the 8th grade. But she does independent-level practice

Posted by a parent on 11/2/2021I have been to the school,and i know that they definately do give work. It is most likely that your son just doesnt want to do homework and is lying to you. Check with his teachers, ask for progress report, and check the papers you sign, because if they are hidden, or he doesnt explain them, they ar
Posted by a community member on 2/27/2013This is the best school I have ever attended. The prinicpal knows every student by name! He is kind not to mention the staff. I don't remember a time I was happier then when I was in Ridge Street. They took us in lots of trips and they provided a good academic programs. I would recommend this school
Posted by a community member on 6/8/2012I still don't know how his school rating is so high. My son is in the 8th grade and he hardly bring homework to the house. He alsways bring the same homework 1 or 2 exercises to finish from the math class and sometimes a paragraph to write for the writing class. I haven't seeing him reading or doing

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI was a former teacher at Elliott Street for 4 years before moving to Florida. Elliott Street has high standards and expectations to ensure students are getting the education they deserve. I won’t lie, it is hard work but very rewarding. I had the pleasure to have worked with both Ms. Johnson and Ms. Desantis. Both principals were very professional and approachable. The coaches were always willing to work with me and answer any questions I had. The school building is so modern and full of technology. If you love teaching and are willing to put in the hard work, I definitely recommend working here. If you are a parent looking for a school to enroll your child in, this is a very great school. The rating provided does not take into account the academics of the primary grades, the fact that Elliott has many bilingual students who struggle with English, and students with specials needs. Do not let a rating be the determining factor! Visit the school, meet the staff members, and form your own opinion.Parent Review4y ago - Belleville PS4

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI love this school! They teach you well and also give fun to the students. The teachers are nice, but strict at the same time. The teachers are very engaged in what they are doing. They care about the students and give them a safe and clean environment. The hallways are clean, the bathrooms are pretty clean, and the food is good. I would rate this school a 8/10 which is pretty good. I would definitely recommend going there if you want your children to have an amazing time. The grades are pre k all the way to sixth grade. Right now I'm going into sixth grade and cant wait to have another fun school year!Other Review1y ago - 1st Cerebral Palsy Of Nj
