Try North Edison in Edison. Very good schools, the high school JP Stevens was ranked one of the top 50 high schools in the state. But Edison is a bit pricey. It depends on your budget.

If you're considering Catholic schools when your kids hit puberty age, check out Mother Seton in Clark (if they're girls) or St. Joe's in Metuchen (if they're dudes.)

Depends on your price range. The Westbury section of Iselin is still somewhat affordable (by NJ standards) and had decent schools. A lot of folks from that area send their kids to St Cecelias, though I was hearing alot of grumblings in the recent years about how the program there wasn't what it used to be, and that they're constantly looking for handouts, requiring you to "volunteer", etc.

Colonia is a very nice town you can consider good luck.
