Trenton people have been doing this for years. It's called fraud, and unfortunately there is so much of it that Ewing HS has become a toilet with half of Trenton going there. I wish the people caught doing this were arrested, fined and imprisoned. They wound up basically ruining a perfectly good town.

That's happening all over. I used to sub in Piscataway's district and the high school had kids sneaking in from Plainfield. And they were well aware of it too. It got to the point that if they got caught before junior year they had to go back to Plainfield, but they were allowed to stay if caught junior year or later.

Rock Ave is the direct route, many Plainfielders give an address on Rock Ave in P-way rather than Rock Ave in Plainfield.

Personally I hold it against no one who wants to better themselves if they think that means going to a high school that gives an education rather than a high school that just keeps breaking up fights and stuff. On the other hand, you have lots of troublemakers sneaking in too that want to turn Piscataway High School into Plainfield High School.

I have no experience with Ewing's school district, but from what I read here it isn't good. If you google Ewing you could find stories about drive-by shootings in areas close to the Trenton border. I know people who went to TCNJ who said from there you can hear gunshots at night.
