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.

The best part about Steven's high school was definitely when I was playing football and involved in a lot. From the games to prep rally's to going to elementary schools to inspire, It was amazing. The worst parts was after all that was taken away my senior year. It was hard to adjust and have my whole schedule flipped but I also gained an experience of having that pause in life where a change was needed to be made. I just wish it could last my whole senior year but then again we all need that change to happen leaving senior year.

My experience was very good. I learned a lot from the four years and most importantly I learned that academics is not everything in shaping my success in the future.

John P. Stevens High School was pretty good overall. I enjoyed my time there even though I hated the facility due to the lack of space and cooling but overall it was a great 4 years spent there.

I love J. P. Stevens High School with all my heart. I'm currently a college freshman, and without a doubt J. P. Stevens' robust academics prepared me and my peers incredibly well for university courses. Students regularly earn admission into some of the nation's best colleges, and do very well once...
