the great debate: North VS. Central VS. South Jersey (Toms River: transportation, island)

In my mind, I always thought the borders/regions kinda looked like this:

Agree completely.

Now I'm in Monmouth County. It's not north Jersey, but it's not really south Jersey, either. I still commute to Jersey City, right across from where I used to work in NYC, so there's that connection to the city and the northern part of the state, but I'm also six miles from the ocean, which is more a south Jersey connection. I'm in the middle; e.g., "Central".

The defining line was also easier when there were only two area codes--201 and 609.

I have always thought of NJ that way. Back when we had 2 area codes. 201 was North. 609 was south. Simple. No central.

Dare I ask - how do public high schools compare across North, Central, and south Jersey?

Generally speaking, those in South Jersey will not rank as highly as those in the other two regions, but if you really want to be accurate, you need to inquire about schools in specific districts, rather than in regions. Within each region, there is often a huge difference from one district to another.

Even easier when there was only one area code - 201. There was just New Jersey. Not North, South, Or Central.

I saw it when it was working.

Burlington and below is South.
Warren, Morris, Union and above is North.
In-between is Central.

Totally wrong.

How can the southern ocean county be central, while it's so much further south that northern burlington and that's considered south jersey.
