I worked at TPS and also had my son there.
As an employee
Horrible
Your check comes sometimes and sometimes don't. They deduct stuff you have no clue what they are deducting. They still owe me money from 2020. I reported them to NJ Department of Labor and won.
They don't pay in to unemployment and tell you when you get unemployed that you can't apply for it.
You get no support at all. There are no certified teachers to help you so if you are not a secure teacher this is not the place to work.
As far as academically the school is terrible. The students get a Gradpoint account and are left to teach themselves. The only time it would be good is if you are a student who don't care about your academics because they pass everyone, even if you have done no work the whole year.

Horrible school, education is unbelievably terrible. Teachers are not certified. Everything is online, you learn nothing. There are no teacher student interactions. Students basically run the school. Will most definitely NOT prepare you for any sort of college or university level material. This school is literally corrupt, do not go here even if you love basketball. There are great basketball schools who have a great education but the Patrick school is far from one of those.
The only thing that was good at TPS was senior year when senior’s was allowed to wear any colored pants with any colored pollo shirt (lasts only for 1 month)
It is a great school for basketball athletes. If you aren't interested in basketball I would advise you to not attend this school. The teachers are great but the administration needs improvement.
Education was not the best. I did not get prepared for college in my opinion. Overall experience was ok as a whole.
Needs more variety with their sports.
As long as you have the ambition to learn , then the process of being admitted will go smoothly
There is no type of health care there
The school is a basketball school their pretty good at it though
The school is good, it has it's moments for being bad but you wouldn't know until you go there.
The resources were old but as the years progressed they improved Over time.
Always on top of their stuff
Challenging but overall great school. The environment is amazing
