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.

Going to school here wasn't that bad but resources are here. No one really tells you about the resources and safety isn't there

The best part of New Brunswick high school is when you develop a deeper connection with staff and teacher they become more of your biggest personal supporter than just a teacher or staff member rooting for you.
