Matawan High School is overall an okay school. I've gone here for 3 years, and my sister 4 years before that. There's lots of fighting and drama with teachers, but it can also be academically beneficial, if you chose the right classes to take.

I sub in the school on occasion and this district is a nice place to work. Most of the children are very nice. It would be nice if they had a golf teem since non teem sorts are great for children with Autism. The sports and programs they do have all seem to be good. This school seems to be under rat...

Great School! Students are nice kids. Staff seems caring and friendly. Wish the school started a little later in the morning as 7:15 is too early to get teenagers to school, but I guess you can't have everything.
