I am a parent of a student & former student myself. My experience w/SHR was not really pleasant. Teachers showed bias (both negative & positive) based on their experiences w/my parents or former family that attended. Luckily that has changed. There is really not many special programs for children needing
... Read more extra help & the school doesn't seem very interested in developing any to help keep them at SHR instead of sending them to an 'alternative' school. The block scheduling they have now is ridiculous as well. If your child needs 'help' this is not the school for them. That unfortunately hasn't changed in the many years since i graduated. The teachers & Child Study team are nice & try to be helpful but just don't know how sometimes. Read less

SHRHS has demonstrated the ability to support high achieving students, by providing high quality education to those who are very motivated, from dedicated and highly qualified teachers. And as a result, and contrary to a previous commenter, high achieving students from South are accepted at many of the
... Read more top colleges around the country. As a parent, I know this to be true. My own two children have succeeded very well, thanks to their teachers. As a small school, South certainly cannot be expected to provide every possible opportunity that larger schools can. But, my kids attended the highest level courses offered at South, including AP courses. Consequently they have both been accepted at their colleges of choice, and at other highly selective private colleges, receiving individual 4yr scholarship offerings in excess of $100K. What more can a parent hope for? Read less

In fact, in recent newlsetter SHRHS seniors have been accepted to schools such as Gerogetown, Boston University, Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, American University, and LaSalle. Since SHRHS is such a small school 350 kids in 7-12, the teachers and administration really get to know the kids--we beleive this is a very important during the teen years. SHRHS is a true community based public school. Read less

I am a current student at South Hunterdon and cannot believe that I have to leave at the end of this year. Yes, scheduling is sometimes a nightmare and yes, being a small school means that our class choices aren't the greatest. But there are six AP classes offered, one of which was just created this

There is an honors track for nearly every subject and the addition of new courses demonstrates the school s effort to diversify our curriculum. And teachers at South Hunterdon know every single one of their students, seeing as the class sizes are about 2 to 12 students. I cannot rate South Hunterdon as anything other than excellent. If a student chooses to take advantage of South, they can receive a great education and also be extremely involved. Read less
