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 would like to see more patrol around the area especially afterschool. Cars drive erratic around the area making it dangerous for the students when crossing. There has also been an increase in fights around the vicinity as well.

The school really only prepares the students who take advanced classes for college and even then it's still not enough. The teachers are nice and do their best with teaching but it isn't much when it comes to college and real life preparation.

The best parts about Linden High School would have to be the activities and extracurriculars that are provided at the school. The worst parts about Linden High School would have to be the half year courses because then it changes your schedule around again. I would like to see more SEL days because those days really helped students give their minds a relief of stress.

If you want your kids to excel, Linden High School may not be the best option. As a result, teachers are not teaching, the kids are learning through youtube videos, and when asked for assistance, responses such as "should have paid attention" are given. The teacher called my son an idiot when he did...
