Red Bank Primary School

Have have 2 kids at this school, both started in the PreK program and we have been very happy with the education they receive, and the creativity they foster through the arts at the school. My children are the value of contributing to their community through class projects for character education and are growing so much from their experience. Friendly parents and teachers who communicate well. Great school!

Incredibly inclusive environment. Teachers are the best. Truly the most incredible elementary school

SBS is one of those schools that are hard to come by these days. K-8 setting, while public, feels private. The staff, faculty, and admin are amazing! The teachers care, and administration holds students accountable-hard to find these days! Like any small town, is there room for improvement? Sure! However, the school as a whole does a great job. School choice exists for a reason, and thankfully, when living in Shrewsbury, we have a great school.

Our experience at Saint James Elementary has been deeply unsatisfactory due to a lack of full-time counseling services, neglect of student voices, attempts to push conservative and republican views onto students, and the invalidation of religious beliefs based on political views. This school claims that they are big on anti-bullying, but the amount of times the students had been told by staff to “just ignore the bullying” is unbelievable. These concerning issues have left us disappointed and concerned. We hope that our feedback will prompt the school administration to address these shortcomings promptly and create a more inclusive and supportive environment for all students.
