Niche User: This school is one like no other. It's very small and they love new students! Everybody knows each other and is willing to lend a helping hand whenever needed. Personally, my favorite experiences involved extra curricular activities, so get involved! The staff is what makes this school unique. They truly care about the students and support them in and out of the classroom. If I could go back I would still choose to attend this school.

Coal Ridge High School

Alum: Coal Ridge High School is where I made many of the friends I have today. The faculty always has the student's best interest at heart, and they work with you weekly to ensure you're prepared for whatever you may be interested in after you graduate. I played soccer, track, and basketball in high school, and they were all tons of fun. They are at the top of their league in each of those sports, and have amazing coaches across the boards.

Middle School Student: I moved to this school in the middle of my seventh grade year, and immediately noticed the welcoming and kind air of both the faculty and students. My only complaint was that some classes were less rigorous than I would have preferred. I greatly enjoyed being a part of the school’s track and field and wrestling teams.
