JP Stevens is a great school that prepares you for success! The school has excellent facilities and a great infrastructure.

This school is HORRIBLE.It's anything but safe at this school. Discrimination, people say the n word all the time, are racist, mysgonistic, shaming on same gender relationships, it's BAD. They shame if your'e fat, if your'e too tall, if your'e too short, if you wear socks or not, it's like students take a maginifying glass and stare at you for flaws.Look at the percentiles, its 86% asian(AKA, all Indian), other races are not accommodates, in the 27 African American people in the school I know a few, some close some indirect normally they are either really nice people who get misrepresented and disliked by school staff or they are straight up bullies.There's no social support, the Guidance is grumpy and horrible, they restrict your bathroom time with SmartPass, the head conscoulser wouldn't let me get a helper even tho I was straight up limping, could BARELY walk by the way, they block everything and act surprised when students use proxies, they censor even Google Classroom once, teachers monitor your screen 24/7 without actually teaching, and there are ADS in school resources.Your grades are 40% defined by your teachers(either they are nice or they are HORRIBLE), 30% defined by luck(if your teacher actually look at it, if you didn't have anything to do that night, yk), and 10% your effort(with 20% defined by your'e mental state).Mentally, there's always competition across the entire school, people shame over not choosing one elective or the other, there's no accommodation.There are two 8th grade students who have had miscarriage 3 TIMES. How does a school allow that.The extracirriculars feel like a extension to regular school, parents make everything worse forcing us to take extracurriculars we don;t have energy for, tuition which is school hell on steroids because we survived a school day already, idkThere's no recess, I literally hear screaming, mistreated Special Ed kids each day, the lunch ladies don't let us even WALK in the cafe, let alone talk to a friend NEXT to our table, the substitutes are entitled..Learning is basically defined by your teachers. Normally, endless homework, no breaks, and the teachers, oh well you can't even SPEAK to them.The only thing keeping this school alive is the fact that people actively break the rules to get a fresh gasp of air, which shouldn't happen in the first place, and the nice teachers out there.I've seen drugs get dealed, school drama to a concerning point, and psychical threats.NO.

Menlo Park School will always hold a special place in our hearts. The principal, vice principal, counselor, teachers, and staff have all been crucial to the education my children have received. We are also grateful for the amazing PTO, who goes above and beyond to bring families together through cultural and fun family events throughout the year.Whenever we have had concerns, the teachers, vice principal, and principal have always taken the time to listen and respond thoughtfully.To every teacher we’ve had, thank you for still stopping to say hello to our children. That simple gesture truly speaks volumes about the care you have for every student you’ve taught. You have made a lasting impact on our lives.We are truly grateful to be part of such a caring and supportive school community that continues to inspire and uplift our children.

My son is 3 years who just started this school. I must say the staff of bus service and school teacher is excellent. He has speech delay issue but i can see him already talking when he comes home from school. I must recommand this school to anyone with speech delay.
