Excellent elementary school with a very caring and committed principal and excellent teachers. There is a focus on kindness and respect. The classrooms and hallways are calm and the environment seems suitable for learning. Children are encouraged to explore their interests. Nice community of families. I am thankful that my children can attend this wonderful school.

My school is an awesome place for k-5. It services a small tight knit neighborhood in Livingston, NJ. The children are well prepared to be integrated into a 6th grad middle school where all schools combine. Dr. Leister, the Proincipal is the most devoted Principal I have ever met

5+ stars. An incredible school--superb teachers and staff--sparkling clean--just a very happy, warm, academically excellent place. I'm a parent of 2 kids there and also a former teacher.

Collins is an amazing school with amazing teachers. Parents are very involved in both the PTA and with their children's education. This school has been a home for my children for the past 6 years and we have loved every second of it.

Collins is a wonderful suburban school with wonderful teachers and a great PTA. Principal is great at greeting kids at the door but not great at helping kids or resolving issues. The answer to the tiniest deviations from the norm is punishment - "suspension" or "detention". My child developed major self-confidence issues with this approach. If you have a curious, soft-spoken child, who has not learned to stand up for him/herself, you may want to consider other schools.

What an amazing school! Warm teachers, the highest educational standards, tons of parental involvement, wonderful community events, and a principal who welcomes the children to school every day! I'm so happy my child goes there!

Good facility, spacious campus in a nice town, generally safe and positive environment. Parents are willing to participate. The teacher-student ratio is pretty high, for 1st grade it's above 20 with very few assistants. Teachers are seasoned, but not always engaging for kids needing extra help.
