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've recently joined the Paramus High School for my senior year and it's a really decent school with nice teachers, experiencing my first time in a suburban school, the school work is quite easy and challenging at times but I also like to challenge myself with different skills.

Paramus high school is an extremely diverse school. You'll see many different races represented, including teachers. The worst part is teachers. Not all teachers are willing and passionate to teach students. Some classes will simply give assignments and readings.

Some of the best parts of my experience at Paramus High School include the variety of AP courses offer, ranging from all the AP Physics courses to AP English. However, there is a lack of certain courses I desired to take such as AP Seminar and AP Research.
