Montgomery

Montgomery didn’t sink. The others rose. OK?

Did Montgomery HS really sink from #10 in 2010 to #61 now? Is that accurate?

Is this correct

Why is this listing very different from the listing in us news and world, and Newsweek which list bridgewater-raritan at 34 and 350 in the nation. Why doesn’t this come close to matching?

Hunterdon Central

What happened? These rankings seem inaccurate. Princeton, Montgomery, Hunterdon Central are listed in the top 30 on other lists. Why is this list so different. What is being evaluated?

Posted by: Linda Matos, Flemington NJ. | Sep 03, 2012 13:15:09 PM |

Basis?

The question that should be asked is what data was used to create this?

Ranking of Union City High School

Between 2010 and 2012 This school which includes students from Union Hill H.S. and Emerson H.S went from the mid-28o in 2010 to the mid 330 in 2012. This is an Abbot District and has had many thousands of dollars poured into it and it still fails to improve. Maybe it has more to do with parent involvement than money because in virtually every district where the students do well the primary reason given is supportive parents. If the parents don’t make sure their kids are doing what they are suppossed to be doing all the money in the world will not help. What a sad situation.

Messed up ranking/rating

Princeton 59? West Windsor 32?? East Brunswick 121??? JP 80???? Montgomery 61????? This "rating" is totally messed up and does not look credible at all! Either data was inaccurate, or method was incorrect, or something!

Summit

Summit went up to #15? Why don’t they factor in students going to top schools, hardly any of Summit’s graduate go to Ivies compared to other schools in the area.
