I''m moving to Long Branch next month and my son will be attending second grade. He is currently in a 504 plan at Strathmore Elementary in Aberdeeen New Jersey. I was wondering if you offer Special Education at your school. His academic skills are age appropriate. Please get back to me at earliest convenience. Thank You. Susan Stone

This school is top notch. My daughters have attended this school since kindergarten and it has been an amazing experience.
Endorse St. Jerome Elementary School. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
- Academic or athletic awards
