my son is in kindergarten in school #3. so far he has had a lovely time. great, caring teachers, principal and staff. only time will tell. he might not like school and become a rock star like his dad... (j/k)
This school is a horrible. When interviewing for Kinder, one of the teachers told me that my child should go back to pre-school for a year. Fort Lee does not have a pre-school. The teachers, administration, even the front office is cold and unfriendly. As long as your child has no academic issues you'll have no issues. Their is no support for students that need extra help. Most are Asian students with parents that are not outspoken and let the school get away with whatever it wants. Few parents involved in PTA meetings. School starts at almost 9:00 AM making it very difficult for working parents. There is no before school program to accomodate for this situation. This is truly not worth your very high property tax dollars. Fort lee is investing nothing in its children.
My first child was about to begin kindergarten and I was feeling very frustrated after I read the previous review. Now I can say that I do not agree that instruction is below standard. We have been very pleased with our child's teacher. Principal is, however, a little uneffective although he tries to make it look like he has everything under control. And yes the system is a little old school system and the staff is not as friendly and as helpful to every parent. Another thing is that the school itself is quite old and there is no proper outdoor play area, not enough greenery and no parking for parents at all. But still our kid enjoys being there and we feel that she learned a lot this past year.
Instruction is below standard. Quality leadership is lacking greatly. 'Old School mentality. Principal is unaffective. Would not recommend this school.
