if you care for your children, do not move to East Orange, or you will be forced to summit them to one of the laziest, EASIEST, most unorganized high schools in New Jersey. This school is the Europe of High Schools they accept anyone and everyone, no matter their level of education or reading, creating the worst possible student ethic and work you'd find in any other high school.
