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.

Hackettstown High School is the single worst public school in the tristate area. From restricting your first amendment rights to forcing students to log how many times they go to the bathroom. The administration has no interest in bettering the high school experience and nor do most of the teachers. Trust me, if you pay taxes in Hackettstown; they are going to a completely useless high school.

They do nothin...

Some very bad teachers at this school, and even worse staff. They do not care about your child’s learning, avoid this school if you can.
