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.

It is a very diverse place with tons of people so there is always someone for you but with that comes a lot of drama and issues that also aren't handled correctly by staff sometimes. I enjoyed my time but I do with drama issues did not come in-between normal things like senior assassin or valedictorian. The athletics are so fun, that's what I participated in, I loved all the coaches I worked with and it was truly the highlight of my high school career.

Piscataway High School offers a well rounded high school experience for our youth with their diverse clubs, great sports, and performing arts center. The fall play and spring musical performances are always amazing. This school offers something for everyone.

At Piscataway High School they have fun events to go to and different clubs you can join. Teachers at the school are always there to help you and counselors can help you with college. There isn't much to say about anything bad about my experience at Piscataway High School, except for the part that my class didn't get a field day. Still there isn't anything I would change about it.

Great place to send my kids. Many curricular and extra-curricular programs. Teachers/counslor/coaches provide enough challenges for students to improve/grow and are very supportive at every stage. School environment is very safe. Mix culture of ethnicities so students learn to coexist.
