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.

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.

Raritan is overall a very good school in the small town of Hazlet, New Jersey. The best part of my experience has been the teachers that have helped me throughout school. The worst parts of my experience have been some clubs shutting down and some classes/electives being cut for budgeting. I would raise more money to keep more classes available to students interested.

I like Raritan High School, there are a lot of resources for students to use and the teachers try their best to help you. The guidance counselors are very nice and helpful. However, one thing I would like to see change is the bathrooms. Usually, there is only one bathroom open and it creates long lines when we are only allowed out for a couple minutes at a time. It is also annoying having to walk across the school to get to an open bathroom when I pass 3 closed ones on the way.

pretty average American high school, not the most diverse but good academics. Great sports involvement in the student body.

My cousins went to Raritan and graduated prepared for college and entrepreneurial savvy. One is in law school and one a business owner. I have no doubt my Hazlet kids will do great there. You have to be an involved parent and an even more involved student who applies themselves.

DO NOT GO TO RARITAN HIGH SCHOOL! They do not prepare you for the future. Teachers vape in class. They don't teach you things you need to know to be ready for collage.It is a horrible school. I REPEAT DON'T GO TO RHS!

Very good. The course offerings can be very demanding depending on which track your child follows. They offer dual enrollment at the high school and community college level. Meaning a child can graduate from high school with an associates degree from our community college. A huge savings for familie...

This school was a joke, and still continues to be one. I graduated from it in 2012. All everyone wants to do is fight each other, the teachers see bullying going on and they do absolutely nothing about it, yet they say that they are so strict with bullying. My younger brother goes to school here now...
