The Passaic system should stop teaching Spanish to its students so that the students can concentrate more on their English skills. I'm very shock that the system still teaches Spanish knowing their English is far inferior than the national average. Stop teaching Spanish.

We love this school. The principal is a phenomenal leader who reinforces and instills the values of kindness, respect and responsibility. The school is the model school for the PBSIS (Positive Behavior Support in Schools) which is a collaboration between the New Jersey Department of Education Office of Special Education and The Boggs Center, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. The teachers are organized, responsive and believe in the importance of the parent/teacher collaboration and from kindergarten support a life-long love of learning. The parent teacher organization is active and supports numerous field trips/assemblies for the students. Our child is thriving at this school and we love the small class size/amazing neighborhood close to the library/playground.

Yeshiva K'tana has become the largest institution of its kind in the Passaic area due to the efficiency of its administration and the dedication of its teachers. Class sizes are kept reasonable and the teachers take a deep interest in each child. Every year, my wife and I marvel at the high quality of the educational staff.

Collegiate is a family run school that doesn't care about education. The curriculums and textbooks are years behind. Students aren't prepared according to the current educational standards for their grade level. Older students spend half the time lounging around and aren't prepared well for a life beyond high school. The school doesn't care about prepping its students to get into college and succeeding there. The current headmaster received her job from her mother who was the headmaster before her. She now employs her daughters, family friends, and college students who have little to no teaching experience as teachers. Private schools should have knowledgeable and experienced teachers and good resources for classes and extracurriculars. They should be places that guides your children as they grow into young adults. This school is more like a baby sitting service. Don't waste your money there.

This school does NOTHING about bullying teachers or students.
