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.

Some person brought a weapon to school... Plus faculty, teachers, staff was not helping since I was a transfer student this year.

It's a good high school for college preparation because you can focus and gain knowledge after graduation based on the shop/major you choose during your four years of learning and experimenting in that field as a high school student.

The best part of my experience at Piscataway magnet school is the process of getting us ready for the real world and the college life. This school does prepare us students for what's coming up next in life. The worst part of my experience is the school spirit. This school lacks with the school activities and clubs. The school does not keep us motivated for us to continue attending school.

It’s a school that if it’s not for you it’s not for you, your kid won’t like it and it’s not as it seems. Kids get accepted with D’s and F’s it’s not a private school or anything like a magnet one. It’s a regular highschool nothing special besides the trades that you learn
