    "Despite having the best student to teacher ratio, the most money spent per student the academic scores for this school are consistently the worst of the 5 elementary schools in Collingswood (consult the NJ Dept of Education). Yet, when it comes to the end of year "field day" competitions (aka athletics) they are first. What does it tell you? Oh yes, Collingswood BOE nearly closed this school when the budget cuts hit hard in 2010."

    "The ratings don't do it justice. Garfield's NJ State test scores are skewed because of the large number of English-as-a-Second Language students attending the school. The reality is that this is a wonderful small school with student:teacher ratios that seem more like a private school."

    "My son is near completion of his first year at Garfield, Kindergarten. He adapted well to this new environment and loves the teacher and his classmates. The small setting allows for him to know many students in other grades as well. He absolutely loves it. The building adminstrator is very nice and is always available to speak with you, and yes, she most certainly does know all the kids by name."
