Community is small and quaint but at times it can be a very small, constricting bubble. In schools especially, everybody knows everybody, and that means that with any taint of originality can make your high school years truly uncomfortable. Since there is very little diversity in the town and most of the inhabitants are quite wealthy, some individuals are prejudiced and small minded. Otherwise, the school system, while at times formatted around the wealthier student body, is great and the town itself is pretty.
Common Core State Standards math BS CRAP! How about something that is proven to work, such as Singapore Math.
Lazy teachers!!!!!!!
No STEM program.
No woodshop or metalwork classes.
They care most about their school rank. There is nothing innovative about their approach to education.
The school rank is high b/c the town is small and the parents demand performance from their kids, NOT b/c Glen Ridge provides the best education.
Large group of parents bickering over whether to apply turf or sod to their athletic fields. Wish they all puled together for a damn science lab or comp sci class.
we do have those pretty gas lanterns though

Very expensive but very nice place to live. School systems are great and provide great opportunities. However, there’s not much to do have to go to neighboring towns
