I think that Pompton Lakes shows a lot of spirit and are definitely passionate about teaching and being in good realtionship with their students. In my four years here I never felt like an outsider and honestly it's a really nice environment to be in considering the fact that it's a small school the sports are also really good.

My overall experience with Pompton Lakes High School can be described as the best time of my life. I got to meet new people from the school from next town over, made new friends, caught up with old ones, and got to play 3 sports. High School at Pompton Lakes is really fun and I can't wait for Sophomore year.

The best part about the school is seeing how much the teachers actually enjoy educating their students and wanting to see us succeed. The worst part would be finals and testing and not feeling prepared enough. I'd like to see even more teachers have a willingness to actually go deep into the subject they teach to make sure students understand the concepts and to help students get ready for college.

Guidance department in this high school is a waste of time. The parents have been passing that information down for years and the...
