Millburn is a great place to be academically, athletically, and socially challenged. Without a doubt, it's a strenuous school. The workload is tough - sometimes overbearing - but it does pay off. There are great teachers here that care about their students. My one wish for the school would be to find a way to change the perfectionist culture surrounding grades. Often, students are so stressed about getting top marks that they neglect sleep, social activities, and their mental well-being. I think the best learning environment is one where students are encouraged to do their best but their real motivation comes from a desire within to learn - not just succeed to get into that top school. I do think Millburn is placing more emphasis on the mental health of its students, and I would love to see more of it in the near future.
The academic level is rigorous, oftentimes stressful, yet the education truly prepares students for college. There are some wonderful teachers in the faculty, too! The culture is a bit stifling, with grades often being the sole measure of a student's potential/competence. However, that is not the case across the board.
While there is a wide source of academic opportunities, from CPB classes, to CPA classes, to honors, to AP's, it is made difficult to climb up the latter of academics and the system undeniably favors the rich. For example, when we were in just 7th grade (at Millburn Middle School), we took a math test that determined if we were to be placed in pre-algebra or algebra for 8th grade. From there, students that had only gotten into pre-algebra had to take Algebra in 9th grade, and would eventually end highschool in pre-calc. If a student wanted to skip ahead in math (Like me, because I became exceptional at math after middle school ), then they were required to pay for a summer course around 200 or 300 dollars. In a public school?? Really? And, the school does not allow students to learn the course on their own, and take the test after, which makes no sense. So, student's 7th-grade math performance decides their fate, and poorer students are systematically deprived of opportunity.
