over all its good. i will like to see counselors help students more with college readiness and give them time.

The best part of South River is the STEM program that is offered. This magnet program gives students an alternate course that specializes in project based learning. However, there is a lottery system to get into this program. This means that many kids do not have the resources that STEM does. I don't know if that's good or bad.

South River High School offers many different clubs and organizations to enhance your experience here. There are countless amounts of support areas if academic help is needed which is convenient and helpful. Additionally, safety is South River High School's number one priority so that students and parents feel safe.

This school has a "top" reputation that is not deserved at all. The AP participation and pass rate helps this school place high in rankings, but that's because this school buses in high-achieving students from other school clusters for their STEM magnet program, and those students have to pass AP Hu...
