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 has been a wonderful experience from the classmates, teachers, and administrators. Paramus High School has plenty of clubs, however I want to see more clubs. While we have a lot of sport programs, I feel like the sports program needs improvement. The teachers are always putting in their best effort to make sure that the students succeed. The school also has a good amount of AP classes in which you can take any AP class that you want.
