Top High Schools in New Jersey

NJ Monthly Magazine recently released its bi-annual school report, and there are several notable changes.

New Providence moved from 15 to #4 – a big leap, and puts this underestimated town among the ranks of the best schools in the state.

Cranford, another Union county town, which has played second fiddle to Westfield for years, has risen above Westfield (#41) to the 13th spot on the list. Doubt the residents think that’s an unlucky number this year!

Madison, always a favorite commuter town jumped from #35 to 15.

Columbia High School, which serves the joint school system of Maplewood/South Orange, rose from #89 to #75, a 16% jump up the ranks.

Aside from Madison, these towns represent much better real estate values than some of their neighbors. This latest list once again proves the benefit of living in New Jersey and helps account for the value of New Jersey real estate.

Here’s a link to the NJ Monthly website, NJ Monthly Website where all the towns are ranked.
