Penn's Grove School

Not enough effort is put into school

Terrible school. A girl sent a group of guys to fight my daughter only because my daughter was trying to be her friend. Later, the same girl confronted my daughter in the bathroom. Now, this was partly my daughters' fault for engaging herself in this situation. While in the bathroom the girl told her "Hit me, I bet you won't" My daughter isn't the type to hold back her thoughts so she said "wanna bet" now I won't be getting into details but this wouldn't have happened if the teachers paid more attention. Not only this but there was a lot of disrespect towards the teachers. In one case a student kicked a teacher on her knee. I took my daughter out of that school and now she is doing much better.

Negative one million. Horrible, disgusting, worthless school district.

Great school, many after school activities, sports programs, diverse culture exposure, professional teaching staff. thanks

I have been a parent in this school district for the past 12 years and have had three out of five children attend penns grove. My children have excelled in their classes and scored advanced on all standardized tests. As a former teacher I tend to be a harsh critic and have high expectations,the school has lived up to all of them. Great teachers who are more willing to go the extra mile to make sure your child understands a concept,great principal who is easily accessible and my kids have all had enormous respect for. For all the people with negative comments you get out of a school what you put into it. The teachers are not there to parent your child-that is your job. Overall I have been very happy and my two oldest children have graduated and moved on to their choice of college and I know the other three will be prepared as well.
