What people are saying

by a parent
Sunday, January 27, 2019

This school is not the best. I found the parents and the kids and most of the teachers rude. The first grade teacher is so stern and impatient my daughter feared going to school. The education is less than par with 68 of 100 kids being proficient in math and when we took our children out their new school was leap years ahead in another state. I found this school very small minded and just Blah and cold. Marlton and 100 percent Medford is going down hill as more people flee. Sad they were nice areas back in the day. Close Quote
