My overall experience at Sayreville War Memorial High School has been amazing. I love all the clubs we have and all the amazing people I've met because of them. It's not perfect but i wouldn't change my experience there for the world.

My experience at Sayreville War Memorial High School has been somewhat pleasant. I feel the school provides many opportunities to grow and learn different topics. They have a large variety of sports and clubs to keep the student body involved. However I wish the teachers would be a little better in assisting student's academic growth and development.

Wouldn't recommend this school to anyone. The kids in the school are homophobic and there's a good amount of bullying / intimidation that goes on. A lot of the kids are reckless / careless, more than normal compared to other schools. The school has been on a decline ever since I've graduated there.....
