Best School in NJ (Union, Madison: fsbo, house, crime)

[AKP]

I'm still looking forward to see any web link or something that tells me BEST Schools (Elementary, Middle and High) in NJ...

If you guys can help me find the perfect town, I would greatly appreciate it.

I have been a teacher for 22 years.I like the Barnegat schools. Barnegat is located in southern Ocean County. A good place to raise a family. I have lived here for 22 years. Barnegat now has its own HS. We are currently getting another elementary school built. Many other towns in the area have regional schools and multiple HS or even middle schools. We have many elementary schools (2 are new) and 1 middle school. I now a couple of FSBO properties in the area. You can private message me if interested.
Good luck with your search

The Star Ledger runs a report card on all schools in the state. So does NJ Monthly. I'm sure you can access these reports and get an idea of the best schools. A good rule of thumb (more of a guideline than a rule): Follow the money.

Very unfortunate but true. Also, greatschools.net is a good site.

My realtor tells me the best school systems are in Mountain Lakes, Chatham, and Bernards Township. I have also heard decent things about Mendham, Madison, Warren and Chester... but am trying to get the same info as you.

Perfect town, you ask?
I am not sure if there is such a thing.
There are many websites to search for crime statistics and schools. Try Googling.
I would stay away from areas that are newly developed or have "brand new schools". Go to areas that have built a reputation for many years and have teachers who have been cornerstones of their community.
Is there a certain area on NJ that you are looking at?
Do you need to be near public transportation?
Do you need to be near NY or Philly?
Small town or city?

Why are you directing this person towards Barnegat? It might be an ok school district but it's not even within spitting distance of being the best in NJ.

edit: OK - I see you have a house to sell there. LOL.
