They do not bombard the kids with homework. They also take a more relaxed and caring approach to kids that may have trouble with doing homework.

I have never personally seen or experienced any bullying at the school. Everyone is so kind and respectful. Kids, staff...everyone.

Both my children have 504 plans. My daughter's teacher came to me with concerns about her progress in class with her speech and attention. Even before I had my daughter diagnosed with ADHD they made accommodations in the classroom. All of the teachers care about the kids are very willing to work with parents to accommodate all of a child's learning needs. They make great efforts to help. The issue is not really teachers and principals at this school, schools in this country have an antiquated way of approaching ADD/ADHD etc. and teachers, counselors and principals are bound by law to follow procedure.

Both my children attend Taunton Forge. They are very supportive of children who need learning support, responsive to all my questions, will gladly meet with me anytime I have a concern. The principal is AMAZING! He knows exactly whats going on and will handle any bullying situation or other perceived issue with a child personally. The teaching is advanced, all the kids have computers and teachers have tech in the classrooms. Love this school!

My school is Taunton Forge School. I am so impressed with the people I work with from the custodian to the principal, each and every staff member cares for the students. There are activities before and after school for students including clubs and intramurals. The students are polite and respectful, the hallways bright and cherry, and the school academics rigorous but fair. Along with class curriculum in grades K-5, students also have music, art, technology and media center each week. Parent volunteerism is very high in our school, which contributes to the family feeling. y, It should be noted that Taunton Forge School was the only school in Burlington County, NJ, to be awarded the title of High Performing School, something staff is very proud of.

It broke my heart when my daughter graduated from this school. They had the most wonderful principal, teachers and general attitude and respect for the children and parents. They didn't just pretend to listen and then give excuses. They listened and made changes when necessary.
