  1. Marlboro High School

    • Freehold Regional High School District, NJ
    • 9-12
    • 282 reviews
    #78 Best Public High Schools in New Jersey

    Senior: Marlboro High school is a great school filled with many motivated students and teachers. The environment is competitive and students are recommended to reach out to staff when help is needed. Also, students are given all the resources they need to succeed. Some things I would like for Marlboro to change is the competitive nature of the school. Many students resort to cheating and academic dishonesty to gain a slight edge over their peers. In a more positive light, Marlboro's switch to a rotating block schedule improved the school for many people.

    #87 Best Public High Schools in New Jersey

    Senior: I love my school’s diverse group of students and strong foundation for academic success. Teachers really do care about us and are always willing to go the extra mile and stay behind before or after school to work with anyone needing extra help. Overall, FHS is a very supportive tight-knit community that truly feels like a family. I am proud to call myself a Colonial for life!

    #89 Best Public High Schools in New Jersey

    Alum: The experience was quite exceptional. I was able to make new friends even though I transferred in during my junior year. The faculty was quite kind and welcoming and the students were as well. The academics prepared me for college l, putting me ahead as the teachers prepared me enough for me to place out of calculus one as well as physics one. Lunch was chaotic, I believe if they implemented two separated lunches, the experience may have been lighter on the staff at food service. Find a place to sit was difficult, especially for people who are not acclimated with the their classmates. The lunch lines were also quite long, taking up to twenty minutes of our designated lunch time. Sports are quite exhilarating as being part of a team, and dedicated to winning introduces an intimate relationship among students participating in sports.

    #148 Best Public High Schools in New Jersey

    Senior: I loved all of the clubs and activities offered at Manalapan! The teachers are always willing to help students, whether it's staying after school or helping out during lunch time. The students are also very friendly and it is easy to meet a good group of friends. I also liked how they had different levels offered for many courses, such as regular, honors or AP levels. Manalapan switched to block scheduling which allows students to get used to longer class times for college and have less classes each day. Students have more class time each day which helps retaining information much easier.

    #160 Best Public High Schools in New Jersey

    Senior: My experience at Howell has been pretty good! Certain negative aspects of high school are unavoidable, but in comparison to others I think Howell is a great school. I might have a different perspective than other students, being a part of the Humanities program, but the teachers and staff seem like they really care and there are many opportunities for extracurriculars, higher-level classes, and extra help.

    Nysmith School for the Gifted

    • Private School
    • Herndon, VA
    • PK, K-8
    • 8 reviews

    Middle School Student: It is the best school I have ever been to and has opened the gates for me to really be able to learn. I especially like language arts and my teachers truly have a broad understanding of the world and inspire us. I have read books including Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, The Power of One, Frankenstein, Henry IV, Henry V, Oedipus The King, and many more. I came in 7th grade and I thought I would have a hard time, but that was not the case. The school is so diverse and I have gotten to learn about a bunch of different cultures and it has given me a better understanding. I went to public school before and until I got to this school I did not really know whiten outstanding education was. I feel ready to share my ideas with the world.
