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 joined Passaic Preparatory Academy my first year of high school. I decided to go to this academy because of their legal studies pathway. I knew since young, that I wanted to learn more about Law, Criminal Justice and the Government. This pathway definitely succeeds in achieving that. It is my last year in this academy and I enjoyed everything the school has to offer.
