Current Resident: I like living in Byram- my address is technically Stanhope, since we're so close to the neighboring town. I like how the town has everything I need in such a local distance; a Dollar General, a pizza place, Dunkin Donuts, etc. It makes it easy to go out, but to save your gas money at the same time!...

Parent: The curriculum is strong, with students working above grade level in many subjects. Teachers set high expectations and then help each child achieve those goals in a warm and nurturing environment. Each day students’ folders are filled with the work that they have completed so that parents can be informed of their child’s progress. Any obstacles are handled at early stages and the child is treated with the utmost respect every step of the way. The emphasis on STEAM is helping to prepare students for a successful future. Every member of the staff knows each kid--not only their names, but their individual personalities. Additional benefits of ACE include smaller class sizes, character development, a uniform that minimizes drama in the mornings, responsive staff, and an exceptional facility. I am confident that my children have a strong educational foundation and love of learning that will serve them well going forward.... Read 7 reviews

Current Resident: After growing up in Bergen county all my life I absolutely love living here. It's far away enough from the hustle and bustle but still close enough to commute to when necessary. We spend our winter on the mountain at Mountain Creek and our spring, summer and fall hiking and on the lake. I'm not really sure how they calculated that outdoor activities score, but it should be a lot higher. People are incredibly friendly and the lake community always has classes and groups to join all year round.... Read 6 reviews

Current Resident: I think that Montague is full of many lovely people. There is a good sense of community in this town. There is nature everywhere, and many recreational spots for activities. The town hall even has a Montague Day! I think there is a lot of drama with the school, and I think that divides the town a little. It isn't very diverse, most of its residents are white, and the country club does seem a little separate from the rest of the town. This said, there are many lovely houses and ample roads for running or biking. It is safe, and there is no traffic. Overall, it is a very nice place to live!... Read 14 reviews

The proliferation of high density condominium communities, along with its municipal neighbor, Hardyston Twp., has led to the construction of many golf courses, a very nice hotel, and some wonderful eating establishments.

Current Resident: Recently moved to Hopatcong after much research. I do not regret it one bit. It’s surprisingly affordable, safe, family oriented, quiet, my block is diverse. People don’t see caught up in the stupid flames of racism that politicians are stoking. To live here you have to travel for work which is a trade off I gladly took. The major shopping area are about 12-15 minutes away. I can’t believe that people / neighbors actually greet you, bring you food & look out for one another. It’s a dying thing sadly. I know it’s a touchy subject but I do love the fact that there seems to be many republicans/ conservatives here, it’s a breath of fresh air to me…I just wish they had more true born again Christians around but that’s a small community to begin with (Matthew 7:21-23)...

Current Resident: Having lived in the city all my life moving to Ogdensburg was the single best decision I made for myself and my family. Commuting to my city job is a breeze with options from buses to Midtown, trains to either Up or Downtown, or driving all the way. The people here are lovely. Absolutely zero crime. Schoolsbare nearby. The Police, EMTs and Volunteer Fire Department are outstanding. Shopping and restaurants are abundant in the surrounding towns keeping our town traffic free. You can hike, bike, kayak, fish, ski, jog, or walk everywhere safely. But the very best part is the beauty of nature, the clean air, and the peace and quiet. We absolutely love it here....

Current Resident: We moved here from a more heavily populated area. Sandyston and the surrounding towns are lovely! There is a lot of hiking trails right in our backyard including 12 miles of the Appalachian Trail. The mountains and lakes around us are spectacular. The town itself is small and we like it that way. My one complaint about Sandyston is that the municipality overruled the state's majority of voters by choosing not to allow the licensing of marijuana related businesses in the township. As a farming community I would have hoped that the township would have been more open minded to the the agricultural benefits the licensing of marijuana businesses would have provided to its citizens. All in all Sandyston is a charming and beautiful little town with some beautiful nature to explore. Hopefully the township leaders will join us in the future of farming and allow its citizens the freedom they deserve to choose if marijuana is the right crop for them to cultivate.... Read 1 review

The school always considers your career path in your schedule. I had a cooking class, something my old high school didn't offer . The school isn't perfect though. The food isn't all that great but it's not unbearable. There are also a lot of kids who get honor roll , so it's very hard to get recognized individually.... Read 23 reviews

Alum: Primoris Academy is a beautiful, nurturing environment that allows any child to excel to their maximum potential. From helpful and caring faculty to an enriching program, the school helps bright young minds flourish and explore the boundaries of their curiosity beyond what is allowed in most public and many private schools. My experience at Primoris has opened my mind to the possibilities of learning in a unique, interactive environment, and take the interests that I discovered and explored there with me to college, where I will continue to delve deeper into them. It is truly an amazing school, and I will never forget the memories I've made with the students and administration that pushed and helped me to be extraordinary.... Read 6 reviews
