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 Middlesex County Academy for SMET is a great environment for experiences in engineering prior to those one may have in college. It provides their students with a good grasp of the potential concepts and rigor expected of them in engineering schools. It also allows them the freedom to explore a variety of extracurriculars and build the application they hope to achieve.

Honestly, I've seen better teaching. The students do perform well, but mostly because the parents are driven. .It's located in North Edison which has something of a stigma in many circles. I guess it really depends on your perspective.
