Village Elementary School is a public upper elementary school in Princeton Junction, New Jersey, United States. It serves local students from grades 4 and 5.

History and Design

This building was built in 1991 adjacent to Thomas R. Grover Middle School, a year after Millstone Elementary School was built. This was recently after the Plainsboro and West Windsor school districts merged, when a district expansion project was initiated to accommodate the influx of new students entering the area. It uses a modern architecture, and its outside is a facade of reddish-brown bricks and a black-letter Times New Roman sign with the school's name, surrounded by a circular, light gray outline in brick cement. The building is two stories high.

This school was once used as a school for grades Kindergarten-3 but due to the construction of a new elementary school (Town Center Elementary School), Village Elementary School was then converted to a school for fourth to fifth graders.

Classes

Most classes in the school have Integrated Reading and Language Arts, and math taught by the exact same teacher. However, classes switch teachers in order to learn either science or social studies from another teacher. Also, students are led to different rooms for the subjects art, physical education, and music. The increasing variety of teachers will help students prepare for middle school, which usually has a single specialized teacher per subject.

From 4th grade, there are two general mathematics classes, one taught by the homeroom teacher, and another one by a specialized teacher. The latter class is more advanced, called the Accelerated and Enriched (A&E) mathematics program. Students must have passed a test in 3rd grade to advance into this class, and this placement lasts until the 8th grade, which is when recommendations for high school are made.

In the mid-2000s, the school district integrated reading and language arts classes into one, district-wide. Thus, this school was also influenced.
