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.

My high school years at Neptune were fun! I've made a lot of memories - especially in my senior year. Good variety of clubs, activities and sports team.

Some other teachers did not have that same passion, which definitely hampered the experience.

Best parts of Neptune High school are being involved in both the varsity tennis and varsity golf teams. The athletes and coaches are amazing. Worst parts are the school fights and violence.

The inmates are running the asylum. Students are out of control. Fights prevail. The teachers collect a salary and hope to move on to a better school.
