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 have attended Middlesex County Vocational & Technical School (MCVTS) - Perth Amboy since September 2019 and I love being a student here. The teachers are very welcoming to incoming students and are very helpful when students are in need of their help. The atmosphere is extremely welcoming and the students are respectful.

Overall, Middlesex County Vocational & Technical School (MCVTS) - Perth Amboy Campus is a great school. Great diversity, amazing and safe building. It's a small vocational school with many different shops to choose from. Everyone knows each other and it's a great community with also great staff.

Some teachers lacked the motivation to inspire the kids to become all they can. Not all but some. The resources given too us to further a career path in our shops are more then a blessing. The food sucks.
