Knowlton Elementary (KTES) is a great little school in rural NJ. We had no issues during the school years there. Teachers provided in-depth information about student's performance and suggestions for how to challenge with more rigorous academics in the coming years. Kuddos to the VP who maintains a positive attitude each day and is engaged year-to-year. We do not have personal experiences with special education in this school, but I know they can typically offer push-in help for all subjects in older grades there. Class sizes are very small, and they seem to cater to the needs of all levels. I especially liked the little extras they offer like Amped (walking/running before school on Thursday mornings) or school bingo event. The physical education teacher was onsite early these days for kids to get a little activity in before school started. Miles were tracked and acknowledged throughout the school year. It's another example of the staff's dedication at KTES.

An excellent school where each student is known by name and followed-up on. The academics are rigorous and students who do well are encouraged to pursue their interests. There is never a day that goes by that, as a parent, I am unaware of what my child is doing and being taught. Parent involvement is central. I only wish the school went past 6th grade.

This school is terrible, if you have a perfect child then this school is for you. But we all know there is no such thing. If you have a child like many of us do whom know what they want and need to be challenged then this school is not for you. Unfortunately, there is a need for big time change in this school but parents need to speak up.
