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.

Administration halts most of whatever the teachers want to do with the students whether its field trips or providing the opportunity to explore thru labs or interactive elements.

During the four years of being in Central Jersey College Prep, it was a very great upgrade to me as my grades got better and i started to socialize more since there were less people. The teachers there were a great help and were able to help me in many ways which was very convenient for me as i was new and didn't know much. Everyone was very friendly and since i had family there it was also a plus because i could be around them and was able to talk to them of course. This last year has been really exciting as i am now heading into college and ready to graduate with all my friends and I am really thankful for all the teachers i had as they all helped me and made me into this intelligent student that i am today.

Some of the best parts of the school are the students. The community is great and the students all interact and have fun with one another. One of the bad parts about the school is that there is limited clubs and sports. Students are also unable to pick certain classes that they would like to take.

My son has enrolled to this school 3 years ago. It was a great school in the beginning. This school was a good school but it changed dramatically. Students sit on the floor, there are no white or smartboards in the classrooms. I know there is a maintenance guy at the school to take care stuff at sch...
