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.

I had an overall great experience at Cranford High School. I enjoyed the school's performing arts program especially the marching band. I thought that teachers prepared me well for undergraduate with college prep.

I had a very good experience at Cranford. I was heavily involved in the girls soccer team and loved out coaching staff and the environment and resources for the athletes. I like many of my teacher and thought they really cared about their students. The only thing I would change is that they don't really assist the students when it comes to college. They don't help you much with scholarship opportunities and don't explain the full process very well.

Cranford High School provides the higher level classes that allow me to challenge myself while still being able to maintain a strong GPA and participate in extracurricular activities.

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.
