Your ratings do not consider individual education departments within the high school. Cedar Creek has an outstanding music and drama department. The choral director is extremely talented and has a extensive music education background. I am sure that department would rate among the highest in the entire state of New Jersey. I have attended many excellent performances by the students since the high school opened in 2011, and I am a former social studies teacher myself now retired. Close Quote

This school is providing my son with an excellent education. The teachers are wonderful. The school district provides parents and students with feedback on grades, performance, district issues, and district happenings. The guidance department is active with all the students and helping them to develop goals and plans every step of the way. Close Quote
