    I strongly believe that growing up in Tinton Falls is one of the best things that can happen to you. This diverse, accepting town offers top of the line education for all of its students. From preschool to high school, I have only ever been surrounded by constant support of teachers and classmates. One thing that I would like to see changed, is the stigma around the town's high school, Monmouth Regional. Once I participated in the school's marching and concert band, I realized that once again, I would be surrounded by the most supporting and caring group of staff and students I could ever imagine.

    Tinton Falls is a wonderful town to grow up in. Everyone knows everyone and they are always there for you no matter what..... good or bad. The only thing I would change is, I would build a post office because we unfortunately don’t have one!
    Tinton Falls is just absolutely the best town to live in. It goes through Pre K to High School, it is just a perfect town with the perfect amount of people.It has a great education.I recommend living here. Especially, families that are big because when I grew up here I had about 100 friends!!!!!!
