Gilbert Avenue Elementary School

Love the school

The township has many people moving in that do not speak English as a first language. So the school has many children enrolled that do not speak English very well. I have three children that went to this school and all have complained about overcrowding. The teachers will spend extra time with the students who do not speak English. Also, the school ranks very low within the county compared to other schools. There are many fights between the children. Being so close to Paterson, NJ many parents from that district are moving to the EP school district bringing the inner city problems to this school as well. I would suggest that you enroll your children in a private school.
