Pingry is overrated. The school cares more about its image than its students. Toxic pressure, zero support, and a cold, competitive atmosphere. If you're looking for a healthy, welcoming school—look elsewhere.

I have been at Pingry for 13 years now, and I would say overall my experience has been outstanding, and I am going to really miss coming to this school next year. I think Pingry's speciality is the close knit community that not only welcomes you as you walk into school, but also the community you are invited to make during your time at the school. I have made lifelong relationships, both with my peers and teachers, and I am grateful for everything Pingry has taught me.

Not every kid fits all schools nor any school fits all kids. Would hav...

You may think this is “the best” school in the state but if you dig deeper you will find they are hiding behind their fancy logo.

Coming from a public school background in Essex County, I can tell you first hand my daughter was not prepared for high level academics freshman year at Pingry. An "A" in public school is truly a "C+" at Pingry due to the quality of the content of each course. The school has a caring and experienced...
