Alum: The best experience I could have possibly had in high school. Great teachers, resources, facilities, and most importantly, people. I met people here I'll never forget. At first, the schoolwork was difficult and I thought I might not be able to stay, but the community helped me get through it. I was able to thrive at AMSE thanks to that same community and would recommend it for anyone interested in STEM in the future!... Read 39 reviews

Parent: What a great place this is! The kids here are genuinely happy and spirited. The culture is upbeat and supportive. Teachers really get to know their students well, and it is abundantly evident that they care about them. The curriculum is innovative. Advanced seminars are offered, as well as independent study. There are traditional AP classes as well as Honors courses. Athletics are great, and there is a strong theater and arts program. Some prospective parents worry that MBS is not rigorous enough, and that their child won't get into an elite college. In fact, I was one of them. Turns out that simply was not true! Your child can get a great education here, and will be well prepared for college, whichever one they choose. Oh, and bonus - they will have a wonderful and well rounded high school experience. What more could a parent hope for?... Read 121 reviews

Parent: The academics at Gill are rigorous. Expectations are high and the level of work produced is exceptional. The students are open minded, intellectually curious, happy and extremely bright. This school has risen to the very top of NewJersey’s finest institutions. Aside from a couple teachers that are almost too difficult the instruction overall is top notch and the students have depth that is anything but common in most schools today. If you’re lucky enough to get in you won’t be disappointed in the overall experience!... Read 110 reviews

Parent: VWA helped my husband and I raise a confident, well-rounded individual unafraid to stay true to her values. A 2017 graduate, she entered VWA in 7th grade. Middle school provided close-knit classes and excellent academics interwoven with kindness and respect, a strong foundation on which young women grow. Challenging academics in high school, balanced by the athletic, service, and club offerings, provide each student the ability to explore her interests. At VWA, each student is treated as an individual. As an athlete, my daughter was unable to continue in her sport due to injury, so she turned her focus to art. VWA didn’t have an AP Art program at the time, so she received tutoring for the AP Exam. VWA supported her individual interests, opening a pathway for her academic pursuits in college. A BC graduate, she now attends Harvard for her Masters degree. She ascribes her educational success to the support of her fellow ‘sisters’, teachers, and staff at VWA.... Read 82 reviews

Senior: The school provides numerous AP/ Honors programs across all subjects. They have an excellent College prep program which helps seniors with the step by step college process. They had daily college visits which gave students the options to consider a broad range of schools. The sports programs are supported by the entire school and surrounding towns. We have always made it to state finals or counties which leads to a energy that can be felt thru the whole town. During Covid they were very proactive in providing extra help and online assistance to students that are struggling.... Read 71 reviews

Senior: Parsippany Hills High School has given me all the tools needed to help set myself up for success in the future. I have not only received a high school education, but was also afforded the opportunity to start my college career while only being a junior in high school. Thanks to Parsippany Hills, I will be entering my first true year of college with enough credits to technically be in my second year. All while achieving these academic endeavors, I was also able to forge great friendships with my fellow teammates during the three years that I wrestled.... Read 325 reviews

Parent: Our daughter recently graduation from the Academy and her choice to attend 4 years ago was was the best decision ever! We couldn't have been happier with her (and our) experience. She is off to a top college in the fall and was both challenged academically with AP and College Now classes and encouraged to always strive to reach ever higher. The school's size and rich traditions foster a wonderful sense of camaraderie and joy throughout the school. Our daughter made friends there that she will have for life. The wide range of clubs and athletics kept her engaged and fostered teamwork and leadership skills. The administration and the Parent Association works hard to keep the girls and families engaged and connected. We are sad to see her graduate but we are confident that the Academy prepared her well for the future!... Read 55 reviews

Alum: The education I received in Madison K-12 was amazing! There are so many opportunities to get involved and your teachers really want to help you as much as they can. I was very well prepared for tests like the SATs and AP exams as well as for college in general. One thing in particular is the ability to write well, which puts me at an automatic advantage over many of my college peers and I attribute fully to the Madison Public Schools system. I also feel like there are constant improvements being made, such as the recent addition of the STEM building and related classes.... Read 103 reviews

Senior: My favorite thing about Morris Hills High School is the diversity. I am so lucky to be able to go to a school where so many cultures are represented. There is a place for everyone to feel welcome across many cultures and many interests. Part of that is the size of the school - it is big and diverse, but part of it is the environment that the teachers and students create. I am friends with both students in my classes and my teachers, and I think that creates a positive environment in the school. On top of that, I am proud to say I attend this school because of it's amazing academic achievements. When I talk to my friends in other schools, they do not even have the option of taking the courses that I do, showing the great opportunities at Morris Hills. The only thing is that I wish they had a dance club/activity, but there is always the opportunity to start your own club, which earns back that star!... Read 308 reviews

Alum: I had a very positive experience at Randolph High School. From the beginning, it was very clear that the school had a reputation to keep up. Everything from the athletics, academics, extra curricular activities, staff, etc. exceeded all expectations, from my point of view. Randolph students are very proud to go to RHS and it shows. All students and faculty take criticism to the school and town to heart as we see there is not a single negative thing to be said about this school. It is also one of the top rated schools in NJ for academics and our athletics are always on the map. Overall, I believe I couldn't have had a better high school experience anywhere else....

Senior: Teachers are very helpful! You just have to ask and reach out, show you extra efforts and they will pay off. They don't recognize and weight outside sharetime classes even if they are actually college classes(that give college credits) and are offered via the high school. Other high schools offer many summer courses and accept them, however Parsippany HS doesn't.... Read 183 reviews
