School Reviews

I moved here from Cherry Hill, New Jersey a year ago and lots of people my husband and I know we're very skeptical about us moving our children to Gloucester City claiming that the schools weren't good enough and that the people from this town we're not good enough. I must say, from my own experience including my family's, this move was probably the best choice we've ever made in deciding which town to live in. In the Cherry Hill schools my children will barely even recognized because there were just so many children and the teachers made too much so they didn't even care anymore but here, the teachers and the rest of the faculty that I have ever met in Gloucester City Schools are amazing. They take the time to actually learn and know your student and help them learn for real what they're supposed to. My youngest son, who attends Cold springs elementary School, was considered not very bright and struggling in his studies. After we moved, within a month of him starting school his teacher came to me and said that he needed to be put into the talented and gifted program because he was bored in class and knew everything without his teacher having to explain it to him. All of his testing has been amazing, he never scores lower than a 95% oh, and that's even rare. In his tag program he is even getting all perfect scores and is always the teacher's pet, no matter which teacher it is. Also, my other son, who is in the middle School, is in advanced classes and is known to be one of the smartest kids in each class that he's in. He was already in the tag program in Cherry Hill also but he still is challenged enough. Finally, we have found a school district that does everything they possibly can to actually challenge my children academically and I love it. Obviously being a mother I want the most for my children and finally I found a place to call home where I feel safe with my neighbors and I feel my children are getting the best education they can get. Anyone who says anything bad about Gloucester City for their school district clearly has never gone to or lived in this town and just believes simply because it is technically a city that obviously it must be a horrible place to live, Camden and Gloucester may both be cities but they are most definitely two worlds apart, and I will honestly defend this town that I live in until the day I die which will probably be where I will die, in Gloucester City.
