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 have enjoyed my time at Voorhees Highschool. I personally think it depends on your effort to get involved. If you don't show any effort, you won't be involved. But as soon as you're involved, Voorhees becomes a second home. Sports and clubs really make up the heart of the school. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else.

Small school, supportive , safe community, and programs with Hunterdon County Polytech and academies. Some issues with individual teachers but overall, a very positive learning environment. Wish there was more engagement/opportunity for parents.
