This school has a lot of issues, I have no idea how anyone could rate this school 5 stars. The teachers honestly seem to care (most of them) and there are numerous emails that try to reach the parents. The main issues is the students, a lot of them do not want to learn and cause problems with the kids that do. Some of the language I've heard used by children was ridiculous and it's said in front of adults that don't say a word. I had high hopes for the NJROTC program but it seems like there is only so much they can do with kids that don't care and unfortunately they try to drag down everyone else. It's also not a safe environment, my child tells me about the fights that happen almost daily, threats of violence happen daily. I think this is or last year here, many better high schools in the area.

We absolutely love the new principal and teachers

I finished middle school two years ago and it's still as bad as it was, even worse maybe. The principal punishes entire grade levels for what a few group of kids does and many teachers, even my old English teacher quit because of the students there. Nobody at the school tries to learn and the teachers are too lazy for emotionally care for the students there. I personally was bullied by a bunch of boys during 7th-8th grade and NONE of the staff did anything about it and had the mindset of, "boys will be boys." Never once had one of them stopped weird rumors spreading about me and not once, did they try to stop the fights that the school got, seriously, when I was in 6th grade, there were fights that broke out everyday for two weeks. My younger sibling goes here now and the fights are worse than ever, there were wannabe gangs at this school, one "waffles" and the other "pancakes" that had many injured and the school did NOTHING about it until it got way too far. This school is average academic-wise but do NOT send any student with disabilities here, the students are rude and they'd just get bullied. The school then had a rule of run way halls where students had to walk on one side of the hallway in a path, which made MANY people late. Then the school had the nerve to do hallsweeps, there's no way someone could get to downstairs, loop to the staircase (taking a lap downstairs) and going to floor 3 without being late! Now kids can't even wear backpacks and the busses are always late to pick up students.
