On the whole the education has been very good. My children worked hard and got into very good schools. Kids will have to work for their A's. The new administration in the school is not too good. The female vice principals are quite rude and unprofessional.

I have 2 students in this high school. Overall, our children are able to get into good colleges, but mostly because they are a smart bunch and receive tutoring to get through their classes. The overall feeling that is pervasive from the administrators and teaching staff is one of apathy. My son is a

It often seems that instead of trying to foster enthusiasm, some of staff instead play the role of adversaries. The afterschool activities for athletes are encouraged, as for the non-athletes, the school is extremely disorganized about getting the info to kids about where, when, and which teachers are running the clubs. There is a huge sense of disorganization in regards to the extracurricular offerings. Read less

I am a former student of Marlboro High School who graduated in 2001. The faculty and administration are second to none, and give their undevided attention to every student. The school is diverse and all students recieve the highest education. It is the finest public school in the country.

The quality of education here is excellent. I was fully prepared for rigorous college careers at a competetive university when they left here.

There are plenty of opportunities for involvement in sports and extra activities, but outside of the advanced educational programs, the school is lacking. Teachers and guidance department often seem to treat parental concern as an annoyance and kids often get pushed along.

I am a former student, and it appears the previous reviews of the school are completely off base. Realize this is an upper-middle class school with a large Jewish population and little diversity where 95%+ seek higher education. This school has good funding for sports and extracurriculars. Yet, it is

Parents must realize 'A' students in other districts come here and become B and C students because school will challenge intellectuals! The difficulty pays off on SATs and AP courses where 4 and 5s are the standard. This school is overcrowded but thats because people want to their kids to be educated here and its public. There are always teachers willing to help you but the personal attention found at private schools is lacking. Many parents opt for private tutoring and college advisors. Read less

I totally agree with the last review. My son is a sophomore who was a straight A student before attendin the high school.
