As a parent of two Pingry students, I couldn't be happier with the school and the sense of community. Overall, it's a great school with lots of opportunities and resources available to students.

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.

A school where you can definitely achieve great things if you take advantage of all the resources you get. Had a lot of fun but also the traditional difficulties that come with high school. Arts programs is definitely not as prioritized as sports, but the department is very passionate about their work. Overall very happy that this is my alma mater.

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...
