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.

Overall, I had a great experience with Pompton Lakes High School. Throughout the years, I've built connections with many people and bonded in a way I never would have imagined. I had a great time here so far, and can definitely picture myself looking back on these years. With my final year fast approaching, I am hoping to cherish each moment to the fullest. The general atmosphere in this school has overall made me feel like I truly belong.
