School is a diverse and high focused on academics. Support is always available for all students and my son''s teacher is always looking at data from the testing to help me understand goals. Sometimes I don''t understand it all but she also takes time to explain it to my son. My friend is a teacher in another district and told me that this school is really good to do all this extra stuff to help make the learning better. My son is happy and loves his school!

The school provides a place for my children to learn the core subjects and has excellent programs to support the learning. I am new to NJ and was scared it wouldn''t be the same as NY but I was pleasantly surprised. The staff has been very welcoming and my children are excited to go to school every day. Proud to say we are from this school.
