John P. Stevens High School is an excellent school for academics and pushing yourself as a student to do better and better, with fierce competition within the school to excel. However, the school administration is not pleasant to deal with, in my experience.

The atmosphere of this high school is extremely competitive. To some this is great motivation while to many others the pressure to succeed is far too intense.
