Switlik Elementary School

Great teachers and adminstrative staff. Caring and nurturing place. My child is thriving here. Very pleased.

I am new to Jackson and have 2 children at Switlik. Coming from a small town with great schools, I was very hesitant about Switlik. My son's 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. Pearsall, is great! She is very informative with the parents. My son can be a handful but she is very understanding and handles all of the students very well. We are in the process of purchasing another home in a different area of Jackson and so sad to be leaving Switlik!

Both of my children are excelling in all subjects at Switlik. I've been lucky enough to be a class mom & in the PTN so I'm in the school on a frequent basis. It's evident that the teachers enjoy working there. The principal & asst. principal are easy to talk to if/when needed. So glad I moved near this school before I had my kids!

Why are the little children - K and 1st graders in trailers? Why are the test scores for Switlik one of the lowest in all of Ocean County if the school is so 'great'?? I am zoned for this school and refuse to send my kids here until I hear about actual improvements.
