The McNair Foundation offers mentors, college guidance, college access programs, and scholarships to students who participate in their programs. The athletics offer most high school-sanctioned sports. The leadership truly cares about the individual student.Parent Review5y ago - East Rutherford Middle School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is a fantastic school where ANY student fits in. They get a 2-year college degree while getting their high school diploma. They are allowed to attend any and all activities at their district school (athletics, band, dances, prom) while getting the advantages of small class size and dedicated teachers. It is truly a family atmosphere, and the teachers do an amazing job helping the kids be successful in their school work, both college and high school. Total lottery system which makes it fair. I would recommend it to everyone.Parent Review13y ago
