Christian Brothers Academy

• Private School
• Lincroft, NJ
• 9-12
• 107 reviews

Senior: CBA was a great experience, but you have to know what you're getting yourself into here. The culture of the school revolves around sports, as you'd expect; but sports are prioritized so heavily that pretty much everything else falls to the wayside. Occasionally, this includes education. The school's also not as "connected" and "brotherly" as they'd like you to believe, and it has a tendency to create new, absurd rules (such as banning all electronics in the cafeteria) in order to make it look like they're different, unique, and challenging. If you don't mind the occasional crummy teacher, heavy focus on athletics, and absurd tuition, then CBA is for you. (Also, if you have any interest in the arts at all, join Pegasus Productions. It's what got me through.)

Trinity Hall

• Private School
• Tinton Falls, NJ
• 9-11
• 13 reviews

Junior: I am very happy I chose to attend Trinity. From talking to my friends who go to other schools, the curriculum and academic standards are more rigorous , but also leave students more well-rounded and able to make connections across subjects. One of my favorite things about Trinity is the obvious dedication most faculty have to their students. I am able to go to almost any of my teachers and ask them for help in their class or support with other issues. The advisory program also is very unique in that we always have an adult who can help us overcome our academic struggles without judgement. Trinity does have its downfalls, just as any high school would, but I am still immensely grateful to have the opportunity to attend Trinity Hall, and I wouldn't change it for the world.

Red Bank Catholic High School

• Private School
• Red Bank, NJ
• 9-12
• 125 reviews

Alum: I very much enjoyed attending Red Bank Catholic High school, I was a cheerleader for two years, a dancer for all 4 and active in many class events. I was on the leadership board of Minority leadership society and a part of the National Honor Society. Being 1 of about 20 students of color in my class of about 115 was quite challenging coming from a diverse middle school and while living in Neptune New Jersey. I can tell the school did their best to make everyone feel equal however I was reminding of my economic status quite often. Being a lower class student at a private school was quite challenging however my mom fought her hardest for me to go to Red Bank Catholic High School (RBC). RBC also helped my mom out with payment plans for me to attend school. If I could change anything about RBC it would be for it to be free.

St. John Vianney Regional High School

• Private School
• Holmdel, NJ
• 9-12
• 132 reviews

Alum: My high school experience at St. John Vianney High School was outstanding. I made lifelong friends throughout the 4 years of growth and change, and found different sports that I liked, and hobbies such as photography. I never realized that I enjoyed photography until I took an elective photography class with my friends. I definitely found myself through those awkward teenage years during my high school experience here, and I wish I could go back!

Mater Dei Prep

• Private School
• Middletown, NJ
• 9-12
• 39 reviews

Parent: New leadership beginning three years ago/cool changes/lots of opportunities. Great school/outstanding teachers. Offers strong college prep/liberal arts curriculum and four new academic institutes, including Leadership programs. MDP does not just offer model UN participation...it is part of the UN. Offers traditional and "outside the box" learning opportunities to prepare kids for college. When kids graduate, they get accepted into top colleges/universities. Challenging/exceptional...so glad I chose MDP!

Parent: Overall, my son had a great experience at this school. It is small, meaning every teacher knew him personally as did the other students. It's a family-like atmosphere, incorporating our Catholic faith.

• PK, K-12
• 5 reviews

Parent: I love that my children are able to go outside for recess & breaks during the day so that their academic work is punctuated by mental and physical releases, the way neuroscientists have proven is the best way for children to learn. I also love that they work in multiage groups gaining knowledge from more advanced students and supporting students who are learning skills they have already mastered. My daughter especially enjoys read aloud, partner reading, STEAM, and the Clubs & Electives she has chosen to take. My son favorites are Math Workshop & trips to the arboretum.
