I have had two children and five grandchildren go to Delanco. Two of my grandchildren currently attend. I was also a former student at Delanco school. We love that the school is in town and the children are able to safely walk there. The small town atmosphere enhances the district and the teachers are amazing! Another facet not often highlighted is the school is attached to a Public Library which in itself is fantastic. The librarians are so helpful and often provide after school activities and clubs that relate to space and legos and are very engaging! They also hold craft afternoons , have free computers and printing facilities, movies to borrow and even host historical evenings with guest speakers. This is something that should be shouted from the rooftops and highlighted as it is very unique attribute to have a public school directly connected to a such a wonderful resource. Delanco school and Delanco public library are fantastic assets to our community and small town! I do not think the library and school have been fairly represented on review forums. Many of the teachers and even the vice principal are former students of the district and are successful educators in their own right with a wealth of knowledge and experience.

My children attend this school. They have had wonderful teachers who were amazing, caring and made learning fun. They were also given supplemental work when they found some subjects too easy. I love having small school in Delanco especially with public library attached. The library is a fantastic resource for the community.

My son attended this elementary school and we live 2 blocks from the school. The buikding was remodeled several yearsxagoband the grounds are lovely, the library is wonderful. Delanco is a small town and the schools are small town schools compared to the bigger communities. That being said the teachers, the curriculum, the music, art etc...are all there if your child applies themselves. Plenty of advanced placement students come out of that grade and middle school .
