Both my children attended AHES and loved every minute. The staff and administration are some of the most caring and dedicated professionals around. The small class sizes gives kids the attention they love and everyone comes out a winner. Related art classes are of high importance and give a nice balance to the school day. Best elementary school around!

Terrible a bunch of lies families with kids with disabled children are isolated and the administration ignores them and the parents concerns. The parents of other students are very snobbish and one sided and believe the school is excellent

This is a top notch elementary school with a caring staff and excellent principal. Superb communication!The environment is perfect for learning and really has a great community feel to it. While they are not a large school, the teachers and administration stay on top of current educational trends.

This is by far the best elementary school around. The teachers care about each and every student. The parents are involved and the school has wonderful support from the community. The principle knows each and every student by their first name and makes sure the students are the number one priority. A private school feel in a public school setting. Bravo!

My school is Atlantic Highlands Elementary School (AHES). It is my opinion that this is one of the finest schools in the area. Mrs. Walling, the school's principal, is wonderful! She knows every child in that school by name! The teachers are all kind and considerate of the needs of the children as well as those of the parents. I find it amazing that Kindergarten children are reading, doing math, etc. and, loving the work that they are doing. My great grandson loves getting up in the morning to go to school and comes home excited about what he learned that day. The PTO is always active and planning fundraisers, etc. for the benefit of the school's needs, playground growth, etc.
