This school is just awful. IEP''s are not followed and they don't communicate with parents. They are not forthcoming with information and inhibit you from getting information. God help the children of NJ if this is the quality of education we can expect.

I cannot say enough great things about this school. My daughter graduated last year. Excellent staff in office. Teachers were amazing with the kids. Not just the level of education but genuine love, care, nurturing and development of the kids. They seem to really love what they are doing. Highly recommend.
