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.

The school is very welcoming and it is filled with teachers who want to support their students and see their best. It is easy to see that the staff and teachers want their students to achieve their goals. Pompton Lakes High School truly helps assist the students to be the best versions of themselves and be an example for the underclassmen.
