Tuckerton Elementary School

What Tuckerton Elementary School does

Tuckerton Elementary School is a public PreK-6 institution operated by the Tuckerton Borough School District in southern Ocean County, New Jersey. It serves approximately 300 students in preschool through sixth grade with a staff of roughly 69, delivering instruction aligned to New Jersey Student Learning Standards through a curriculum stack that includes I-Ready Mathematics (K-6), CKLA / Amplify ELA, and Into Math by HMH, supplemented by Creative Curriculum in the full-day preschool program. The facility is located at 213 Marine Street, Tuckerton, and is described as a small neighborhood school organized around self-contained grade-level classrooms with dedicated special-area teachers for art, music, physical education, world language, media, and technology, alongside a Child Study Team providing special education, speech, occupational, and physical therapy services.

The business model is that of a New Jersey public school district rather than a commercial enterprise: the institution does not charge tuition to in-district residents and is funded through local property taxes, state education aid, and federal grants including Title I, IDEA, and ESSER. Fee-bearing auxiliary services include paid breakfast and lunch (with free/reduced provisions), the Right at School before- and after-school care program, and preschool registration subject to age-based eligibility. Distribution is effectively district-residency-based enrollment with a marginal School Choice channel for out-of-district applicants, and operations are supported by a shared food services arrangement with Pinelands Regional School District.

The school is governed by an elected Board of Education led by President Kathryn Sutton and Vice President Dave Colapietro, with executive operations handled by Superintendent/Principal Siobhan Grayson and Business Administrator/Board Secretary John Failla. Marketing and family engagement run through the school website (tesnj.com), ParentSquare notifications, Instagram (@tes_nj), Facebook, the weekly "Terrapin Talk" newsletter, and the TES PTA. The institution has no subsidiaries, no parent company, and no private equity or venture capital ownership, consistent with its classification as a government state entity in the State of New Jersey.
