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 best experience at Tenafly Highschool has been being able to connect with teachers and be able to really enjoy the classroom and the classwork. The worst part about Tenafly Highschool is that the building is old and nothing is really modern or nice to work with and be around.

Spent four amazing years here, amazing environment when it comes to learning and overall social life. Nice classmates who are in no way in the way of your learning or being rude.

I am a current senior and I love that my school is very academically driven. Not just the academics though, the sports team is spectacular as girls volleyball won the state champions this year. People are nice and teachers are willing to always help. I also believe that THS would prepare me well for college life.

My daughter just graduated from THS in 2017 with Highest Honors and 3 awards for literature, theater and music.
