GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Loved the open lunch and campus as a senior. Cranford really focuses on academics and the education for its students. The teachers aim for students to succeed as well.

I felt more than prepared in college and I couldn't be happier with my experience. My friends will be my friends for life and I feel so welcome when I visit my teachers on school breaks.

Good, this school district has a lot of different classes for the students to take. This exposes the students to a wide variety of experiences. I have not seen this in another school district in NJ as of yet.
