School Reviews
5 3/20/2020
This school has been wonderful for us - particularly compared to our sending district of Vernon, NJ. Both of my boys were so unhappy there, unchallenged and suffered from bullying and just a negative atmosphere in the schools. They hated going to school and as I became more familiar with the Vernon schools; I hated sending them there. Then we discovered the Charter School, and it was a wonderful change. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The student body is small, and everyone knows everyone else. It's generally caring and warm - with some exceptions for the usual middle school drama, of course!! The class sizes are so nice and small, and children are allowed to learn in the manner that best suits their learning style. It's far less restrictive and more creative/interactive than the learning style in Vernon. For my boys, this has suited them very well. All of a sudden, they were interested in learning, at the same time that their class sizes went from 23 or more (in Vernon) to 12 or 13 (in Charter). What a welcome change!!! Clubs and activities are good, there are sports and trips and assemblies, just like in any other school. Teachers are WAY more responsive at Charter than they ever were in Vernon. They actually reach out to ask me about things or to share information. That NEVER happened in Vernon!!! This has been a great change for us. My sons even persuaded other of their friends from Vernon to transfer to Charter, with comparable positive results. Our family highly recommends it.
