Glen Ridge High School is filled with a lot of teachers who seem to truly want their students to succeed and perform to the best of their ability. Things in the world change very quickly, and the curriculum is adaptive to this. Despite being a very predominantly white town, I think that there's a strong newfound effort to spread cultural awareness, specifically in the English, Music, and History programs. Furthermore, with the rise in Covid-19 cases nationwide, the school had overall been very accommodating with virtual schoolwork, and staying very organized when it comes to giving students extra help and prioritizing their education as well as their safety.
Schools are very impressive. There is a real work ethic among both teachers and students. Taxes are high but you feel a direct connection with the education your child receives. And being a small town, school runs are easy, and the place is so safe; this is one of those towns where you will see kids cycling around by themselves. Also, I've noticed in the last few years that the place is finally becoming more diverse - guess it's due to natural generational shifts and young folks moving in.
The high education and focus on college in the junior and senior year cause for much competition between students to be formed from the start of students' high school careers. The school encourages students to be comfortable with the classes they take but the social nature of the school causes students to take more advanced classes than they feel comfortable with. Seniors are taking as many as 6 APs in one year, while some only take 1 AP all four years.
