My son just started this school, moving from Norther NJ (Tenafly). Although Tenafly is considered one of the best towns in NJ (school-wise), my son enjoys Wemrock Brook much better. Here is why:
- School Bus (his last school didn't have it)
- Lessons structure (he explained that he likes how the day is structured, that after lunch, the lessons are easier and more fun, which makes the day much shorter and him enjoying school much more)
- Brand new beautiful building (school is very cool looking, blue/yellow metal and a lot of glass/windows, which makes it very airy inside)
- Modern equipment (each class equiped with MAC computers, projector, TV - the day starts with The Pledge of Allegiance of the United States, as well as local and weather news done by kids)
- Lunch (in his prior school he didn't have a choice of lunch, I had to pre-order it in advance and if for some reason my son got tired of it - you are stuck with it + lunch is literally twice less expensive in Wembrock Brook!)
- Teachers (my son enjoys all of the teachers, which is very important)
- Everything is less expensive (coming from Tenafly - tons of things cost more money, like Halloween/Christmas dance, etc - 2-4 times more!) Close Quote
