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 have loved my time here and have met a lot of great people. I think it is one of the best high schools around and I am very grateful because I feel like it has prepared me for college academics.

The culture at Mendham is very competitive, both with students and parents. The wealth in this community breeds entitlement and arrogance. The school itself is very strong academically, however the student body leaves something to be desired.

Overall, the staff and facilities of Mendham are both strong points, and some of the best parts of the school. The school culture however, is certainly suffocating at times, where counselors and some teachers fail to acknowledge any other post secondary options other than pursuing a four year school. But overall, I am a proud senior of Mendham, and through its faults it is still a great high school.

The broader community lacks diversity, is entrenched in white privilege, and if you are not rich or haven't lived here forever, you don't count or matter. There is a uniquely Mendham way to deal with criticism, which is...
