Harvey Rodgers School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Glassboro School District school district, located in GLASSBORO, NJ with about 291 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to Kindergarten. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 20 teachers, J. Harvey Rodgers School has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.

The J. Harvey Rodgers School, located at 301 Georgetown Road in Glassboro, New Jersey, serves as the primary early childhood education center for the Glassboro Public School District. The school is specifically dedicated to the educational development of the district's youngest learners, typically housing students in Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten. By focusing exclusively on this foundational age group, the school is able to create a specialized environment tailored to early developmental milestones, social-emotional growth, and the building of essential literacy and numeracy skills.

The school is well-regarded for its welcoming atmosphere, which is designed to provide a gentle transition for children entering the public school system for the first time. The curriculum emphasizes "learning through play" and structured classroom activities that foster curiosity and foundational academic habits. As part of the Glassboro community, the J. Harvey Rodgers School works closely with families to establish a strong partnership, ensuring that students receive the support needed to succeed as they eventually move on to the primary grades at other schools within the district.
