Great school. So much more than a place for learning technical skills. Need to visit to really know just how under rated it is!!! Principal takes a lot of pride in his work and it shows.

Incredible performing Arts program, Culinary program. Many kids bused over from their home school for afternoon classes. Now, it is a great option becuase it is a fully acredited college preparatory HS. Terrific, dedicated teachers and smaller class sizes than many district schools in the area. Facility better kept than BRHS. Some very competitive sport teams as well. Science Acadmey is there too; a high school program that partners with RVCC. Students graduate with 2 degrees, high shcool and their 2yr. Associate degree from RVCC. Any school that fully articulates with RVCC will accept the credits and student can for example start as a junior at Rutgers or Ryder!! This is a highly academic program. Students test into the program. Class sizes are small and all the teachers really know your child by name! (You are not a SS#) Close Quote
