I was in this school till i was in this till second grade and it was terrible! I was reading some reviews saying how good it is but trust me i was there and it wasn't trust me. Lets start with the teachers, they don't care for their students, my second grade teacher was just straight up rude I mean like come on! She would let her problems out on us and yell at us even when we did nothing wrong and my first grade teacher didn't really speak English!! AT this point the hire anybody who says the have a degree. Only my kindergarten teacher truly cared for her students. The food is horrible, I found a bone in my chicken sandwich and it was still frozen. Now about the students, they don't learn anything there i mean lets be honest i learned my times table when i was in the third grade your suppose to lean it when you'r in first. Please do not send your children here I beg you

I grew up in Gloucester township, and I have alway love the schools, I move back when I had children, so they could experience the same as I did. Chew is a great school, my daughter is in 1st grade, and I am in one to one contact with the teacher. She will comunicate with me about my child.

My son is in 2nd grade and it is his first year attending Chews Elementary school. I find the homework given to him is at a bare minimum amount of work level. The math they assign is still at addition and adding by only 1 or 2 numbers by the same amount. Then they jump and give him ratios, fractions and somehow they have skipped or forgetten to teach division and multiplication? When I was a kid going to school wasn't so scrambled. We was taught the fundamentals first then we proceeded to advance on to percentages, measurements and the so ons. The other schools my son attended gave out instructions that was simple and homework to the amounts that actually stimulated my son's mind to stretch and grow. Another thing that is hard to hear is that when a child does something in class that the teacher doesn't like they lose recess time? I'm sorry but if you want to punish my child let him run around the track, do some push ups or sit ups -one should'nt eliminate their physical activity time. Especially when gym is narrowed down to one day a week! IF your in your mid 30's like me you can recall we had gym EVERYDAY. They wonder why the kids lack motivation...Keep them moving...mind&body.

The education offered at Chews School is well below average. I am so disappointed in the teachers, the staff, the Principal, even the LatchKey program. There are so many issues. There is not an open rapport about your child's progress. Many teachers have in their car window they are working without a contract. I pay nearly $7000 in taxes, I will now pay an additional $4500 for private school.
