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.

I am new to the school this year as a 10th grader and the staff have been so supportive and helpful wherever I needed. All staff members care about their job and the students. The only thing that bothers me a little bit about how some staff members don't check their emails and the limited information given out on sports.

My experience at South Caldwell, I would say it was average. The faculty could do better in including and making everyone feel welcome, no matter their ethnicity background.

No Child Left Behind has ruined this school. If you want your child to simply graduate, send him or her to this school. He or she may not know how to read our write but graduation rates are that matter even if students don't technically pass classes. The upper level students will do fine but I fear...
