Raritan High School

Very good. The course offerings can be very demanding depending on which track your child follows. They offer dual enrollment at the high school and community college level. Meaning a child can graduate from high school with an associates degree from our community college. A huge savings for families worried about college tuition costs. It is an academically rigorous program but you get out what you put in. As with all schools, you need to be part of your child’s educational experience and supportive of their studies and the school. If parents are involved and on top of their students, the outcome is great. If, as a parent, you think it is someone else’s job to take care of your child’s education and you are uninvolved, the outcome will show that. This school also offers specialized academies in performing arts, medicine (in conjunction with the state university) and engineering. There is talk of an aviation academy coming in the future. These are all excellent opportunities for students as they prepare for future college or career paths in specific areas. There are many different clubs and activities at this school, including an award winning marching band, competitive sports teams, as well as academic clubs and social clubs. We have had nothing but great experiences so far at this school and I am happy my younger child will be attending in the future.

This school was a joke, and still continues to be one. I graduated from it in 2012. All everyone wants to do is fight each other, the teachers see bullying going on and they do absolutely nothing about it, yet they say that they are so strict with bullying. My younger brother goes to school here now, and our house is currently up for sale because we do not want my younger sister ever stepping foot in Raritan high. Hazlet is turning into a low life town, never send your children here.

Terrible school, terrible staff, terrible learning environment. I will not be sending my second child to this school due to the lack of good judgment on the administration's part.
