this is a quiet rural school which has for many years past graduated the top students in salem county. It is set in a wonderful slow paced area and is farming community. It is a breath of fresh air in a faced paced world. Unfortunately there are some who want to "bring us up date". We have had very successful graduates and do not need the north jersey mindset creeping into our rural setting. New rules and changes have not been implemented to make it a better school we are NOW no longer the top graduating students going on to High school. What ashame. I am saddened by the choice this school board has made to hire an immature power seeking superintendant. What a wrong fit for our school.
