Senior: Moorestown Friends is as advertised, inspiring kids to perform academically, to pursue interdisciplinary study, and to break the mold of a student fitting a single archetype. It's a place where most are committed to producing results: the girl at the top of the class is also a double varsity athlete, AP art student, etc. MFS does a great job of creating a culture that rewards success. However, it can be exhausting. MFS can be difficult for high-achievers experiencing burnout. One thing I will say is that the emotional strain placed on a student to perform may impact their mental health. It can be exhausting to perform out of fear of failure, and the mental health resources are a tad subpar. Our school counselor is a wonderful woman, but ultimately it comes down to "I-know-you're-depressed-but-your-grades-are-good-so-stick-it-out!" TL;DR: It's a great mix of pre-professional and creative, has amazing resources for all sorts of study and projects, but can be unhealthily competitive.... Read 82 reviews

Alum: Not until the end of high school did I understand how lucky I was to be surrounded by such incredible teachers and peers at Moorestown. As an Asian woman, one of the only issues I faced at Moorestown High School was the lack of diversity and understanding of other cultures by both teachers and my peers. Other than that, I am grateful for the numerous teachers who went out of their way to make sure their students would succeed both in school and outside of the classroom. For example, I ended up becoming close with quite a few teachers who often expressed that they not only cared for my performance in class, but mental and physical health at home as well. Any teacher can show up to work and show their students what they need to study to do well, but I strongly believe that the greatest mentors are those who are able to guide their students in several aspects of life. These people helped me push through my difficult home life to show me that I am capable and I am loved.... Read 220 reviews

Alum: An amazing school that will prepare you for whatever you want to achieve after. Small size makes it feel like a family and allows for each student to really personalize their experience at the school. Doane has incredible teachers who are intelligent, experienced in both teaching and the professional worlds, and have passion for their subjects. Many choices of clubs and sports. Lots of special traditions that go back generations. An overall amazing school that I would highly recommend to anyone!... Read 62 reviews

Parent: All 3 of my children have had the privileged of starting their academic life in this school. The teachers and staff are amazing - helpful, kind, smart, resourceful, creative and loving. They respond so positively to not only their student but the parents as well. Because the student-to-teacher ratio is low, there is more individualized learning opportunities. Those students that need more guidance AND those that need more academic challenges are both given equal attention. The PTO is open and inviting, making new families feel like they have always been there. We wish that they could have been a K-12! If you have the opportunity to send your kids here, take it....

Parent: My son and daughter attend and the school has been an A+ with respect to curriculum, activities, college preparation and administrative guidance.  There is a lengthy offering of AP Honors classes including dual enrollment opportunities.  Clubs and extra curricular activities are abundant.   The Guidance department has been fantastic for purposes of college application preparation with various guides, recommendations and direct counselor to student meetings. Consistent feedback was provided for something as simple as Naviance to FAFSA, the CSS and interview preparation. What could have been a stressful experience was instead exciting, concise and successful. We are thankful.... Read 420 reviews

Senior: Rancocas Valley is a very large school with multiple districts. That way its really easy to make a ton of friends! There is an endless amount of clubs and activities that are all very easy to join. My personal favorite is the book club where I met a lot of my good friends. Many of the teachers are well rounded, good at their job, and know how to make the work more bearable. The electives are numerous and helpful for people who are thinking about majoring in those subjects in college. Classes like Foundations for College Math, and Finance are proven to help students when they go to college and out in the real world. There are tons of events held by different classes that are always successful and fun. The only thing I found unappealing about this school is the fact that they had no central air conditioning, making the learning environment slightly uncomfortable in the summer. However, next year they will install air conditioning for the students and staff... Read 437 reviews

Senior: Through 500+ sports, clubs, and extracurricular activities to get involved in, I have enriched my life greatly. From music programs like theatre and band to science/engineering courses and clubs, I have become a well-rounded individual with multiple leadership experiences and immense knowledge. The technology and high education standards make Shawnee noncomparable to most high schools across the country. Students have a choice to get involved in higher level courses and be selective about the clubs they join to cater to their schedule. I could not have asked for a better high school experience....

The academic program has a wide range for all students and the teachers are amazing. Chiefs' school spirit can't be beaten. We have the best stundet seciton in all of South Jersery!...

Senior: Holy Cross Preparatory Academy High School was my first high school choice because of its kind, helpful, supportive, well-educated teachers, facility, and staff along with its similarity to a college classroom experience and scheduling. The students' interactions among the teachers, facility, staff, and with each other are super special because everyone is so supportive of each other and helpful. We are family. When I arrive at Holy Cross each morning and leave each afternoon, I know I am in a safe and secure environment. Overall, being a Senior in fall 2021, I know I am going to have an amazing experience despite the rules and measures set in the school because of COVID-19. I like the block scheduling that Holy Cross has because you have only four classes at a time which brings less stress upon me. I have had such a great experience that I do not see the need for any changes!... Read 43 reviews

Senior: Northern is a farm school. Not in a bad way, since their stem program is amazing. But saying that, sitting here in my engineering class and looking out the window and come face to face with our pigs, chickens, and ponies is an interesting experience. The wide array of electives and clubs gives students enough chances to at least get an idea of what they want to pursue later in life from the FFA program, AFJROTC, band &theatre, and then to Robotics I’d say our school is actually very nice academically. The faculty and teaching staff tend to be very helpful and have good relations with the students. Always willing to help academically or offer advice for outside of the classroom....

Senior: Burlington Township High School offers a wide variety of courses for each type of student. For those who aspire to gain college credits, BTHS offers over 15 AP Courses! Our arts program is a crucial part of our school's operation, as it not only offers an outlet for students to express their creativity, but serves as a showcase to the diversity of our student body. Through countless extracurricular activities, including theater, the arts, athletics, clubs, and part time jobs to say BTHS students are involved is an understatement. The high school's staff is the key to student success post-graduation. Through their commitment to teaching students inside and outside of the classroom, BTHS teachers are passionate about educating the next generation of world leaders. Though BTHS is extremely well rounded with its rigorous academics, various extracurricular activities, and dedicated staff, it always has room to improve. With more AP courses and an expansion of athletics, BTHS is complete.... Read 437 reviews

Niche User: If I had known about Life Center Academy sooner, both of our kids would have attended it instead of another "Christian" school. The administration and staff really treat it as a ministry so the Jesus factor is tenfold any other school we encountered since moving to South Jersey. The teachers are amazing in their care for the students and not just academically, they go way out of their way to help the kids. The sports facilities are the best in SJ and the coaches are all men and women of God, not just coaches. We love everything we have seen so far at LCA and highly recommend anyone considering a Christian education for their kids to look at LCA first! We wish we had!... Read 34 reviews
