Alum: Ranney is a fantastic place to go to school. The Ranney community is really one big family. The Ranney motto of "every child is known and valued" becomes abundantly clear the moment you step foot on campus. The education is holistic and features science, technology, engineering, arts (musical and physical), math, and humanities. College counseling is top-notch. The school also does a great job of developing students' leadership capabilities. Ranney celebrates community service which invokes a sense of pride around doing good deeds, creating organizations to serve the local community, and donating time. I am really lucky to say I am an alumni of such a terrific school.... Read 35 reviews

Sophomore: I love this school so so so much. I could not be happier attending any other school. I really feel like the community makes it easy to feel heard and respected by my classmates. I love my teachers, classmates, advisors, coaches, etc. I also really like the sports culture. I have not played with girls as respectful, uplifting, and motivated as the girls playing on the sports teams at Trinity Hall. I also feel that I've found a passion for learning upon my admission at this school. I am so grateful for all my teachers, and the uplifting and encouraging environment they create for every girl at my school.... Read 23 reviews

Alum: I loved the community and rigor at the community as well as the athletic programs there. I have met many people including teachers, coaches, and friends/teammates that have become irreplaceable aspects of my life. It made me into the man I have become today and has provided many opportunities than enabled me to change my life's path and story. I wish that CBA could be less cutthroat in certain aspects but it is necessary for certain areas but it could benefit from being more down-to-earth and idealistic and more accurate and connected to its students....

Senior: Saint John Vianney HS has been a great HS experience for me. With a smaller class size, I am able to better engage with my teachers and classmates. The block scheduling has prepared me for college learning and lastly, the Varsity Baseball program has provided me with both technical and leadership skills that I was never taught playing travel baseball. I've made lifelong friends at SJVHS!... Read 148 reviews

Senior: NJUCA is a very good school to go to. The teachers care about you and will spend extra time with you, the staff as a whole is kind, the education is great, and the campus is safe. The downfalls are that the school is poorly funded, causing restrictions on what the school can afford to do or have. The school is VERY small, so finding friends can be difficult. Overall, if educations what you care about, NJUCA is the place to be.... Read 34 reviews

Parent: Sending our daughters to Mater Dei Prep is the best decision we ever made! The faculty & staff are amazing and dedicated. The Guidance Department does a wonderful job helping students prepare for college and navigating the application process flawlessly. MDP's academic program is very strong. They offer Honors and AP courses, as well as, dual enrollment with Rutgers, Seton Hall, and Brookdale. Students have the opportunity to take courses in the Career PREParation tracks: Global Leaders, Performing Arts, Health & Sciences, Law & Government. Additionally, the school offers a wide variety of extra-curricular clubs, sports, and community service programs. Something for everyone! MDP offers a supportive, nurturing, family environment. My daughters have thrived at MDP! Our senior is starting to receive college acceptances with strong merit scholarship offers which I credit to the support of the MDP faculty and staff. If you want to make a difference in your child's education choose MDP!... Read 59 reviews

Junior: I love St.Rose High School! The teachers and staff are extremely welcoming. They really help and guide you through your education. The teachers work with you and make sure you truly understand their lesson. They will stay after class or even school to teach you the lesson. I love that you can just be yourself. St.Rose treats you like you are family. It is a tight-knit community with many opportunities. St.Rose has a great science and math department. They have up-to-date technology which really helps students learn to their best ability. St.Rose was excellent with students and their education during the pandemic. Since the beginning of the school year, there was in-person learning. Students were able to go in full days where they were able to get the best education possible. When we had to go virtual, all the teachers were great with the online learning. teachers helped each other with technology so they could give their students great education. They really are the best!... Read 96 reviews

Parent: Voyagers’ is like no other school. Every student is valued and the teachers are committed to teaching to each child. The students spend a lot of time outdoors and there is a big emphasis on community and civic responsibility. We love that our daughter spends time with students of different ages/grades and that there is such mutual respect between the students and teachers. For the past seven years our daughter has been excited to wake up and go to school every day. Her curiosity and love of learning is exactly what makes Voyagers’ so great!... Read 8 reviews

Alum: Without this school I wouldn't have graduated. The small size, the attentive teachers, the one on one counseling. I highly recommend this school for others. I have such fond memories of this place. The only draw back is its remote location. If you're very far out from Wickatunk your district will most likely not pay for you to attend. I had a 45 minute bus to and from collier but it was worth it.... Read 1 review
