I am in BH as well. I don't think the school gone down. It was 15 in 2008 and 25 in 2010 NJ monthly. Sometimes those rankings are based on different criteria so you see ranking moving up and down. Look at Princeton which has been down to 44 in NJ monthly this year. Do you think Pricenton school has gone down? In addition, we have more than 400 high schools in NJ. I don't think 44 is a bad ranking at all. Also the newsweek just had a best america high school lists. Governer Livingston ranks within top 200 among 1000, but I did not see baskin ridge school at all. Then do you think baskin ridge school is bad?

To me, those ranking lists are just general reference. Anything on top 20% of the list is excellent. Besides, even in good school, children still need to work hard to get good performance.
The reason I like BH is all the sourrending towns are nice and good school. New Providence is nice as well, but the tax rate is higher.
