I'm really glad we chose this school. We love the STEM experiences. She talks about the animals and the projects that she gets to do all the time. My child has made many friends in school, participates in school programs, and has grown. The teachers and the principal are really great. We have told two of our neighbors about the school and they are now putting their children in the new Immersion Spanish program. I only wish the Immersion program was started earlier.

Terrible experience. Very disappointed and concerned for the kids academic success. I did not allow my child to stay for the second semester.

This school is supposed to be STEM driven however it lacks any of the teaching. The only thing that concerns them is teaching to the test. Our daughter did very well academically in the classroom setting for the subjects taught but later we learned how much she was lacking after seeing her I-Step results. I'm thankful she will be going to the better of the two middle schools but over the summer and throughout her middle school years we'll be getting her outside tutoring. Be aware of this school and be an advocate for your child.

We have 2 children in Skiles Test who are very happy and learning above their grade levels. The teachers have been wonderful to find challenging work to advance their learning. My children make excellent grades and pass Istep. They have great friends and are involved in clubs that are offered. The staff is excellent and they do not tolerate bullying. I couldn't ask for more!

When my son first attended the school four years ago with Lawrence Township redistricted the township I was very concerned. The first two years were challenging as the school was going through transition and I wasn't sure it was the right school for me. But now my son is now entering his 4th year there I can say this was the right school for my son. The teachers genuinely do care and will work with your child. Also the principal, Mrs. Radford, is so welcoming and makes time for each student and for the parent to discuss concerns. They have an awesome STEM program in which my son truly enjoys. I can honestly say that this school will challenge your child but will also encourage your child to build confidence even if they are not up to grade level. I would highly recommend Skiles Test.
