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 want to see more involvement from both kids and parents, it's lacking and preparing them for when they leave high school

I like the diversity. Especially for being near other towns that are known to be filled with more of a white community, we are proud here.

From an academic standpoint just your average school in NJ, most kids go to Rutgers and a lot go to 2 year schools. The bullying is the real problem here, not enough individual attention for students.
