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.

I love this school I have done all the steps I needed to so that I can get started on my path to becoming an educator and human, this school allows for creativity to thrive and flow through the halls. I think that I have accomplished a lot, and that makes me feel safe about what comes next. Some bad experiences would have to be some kids. While I have no hate for anyone in this school, some kids don't seem to be interested in returning that favor. some kids have that hate in their hearts, but I know that all I can do is be kind and mind my business.

SBHS is a great school considering both the teachers and academics. There is a variety of classes with amazing teachers teaching them. There is a lot of opportunities to grow in the building.

I went here for only Freshman year of high school and absolutely hated it. Worst experience ever! I moved to a school with not only a higher rating but also felt way less stressful and even though there is still competition, it is not to the point of South Brunswick. Crazy place SBHS, would never re...
