Can't speak about Whitehouse Station, but the schools in Branchburg and Hillsborough are basically the same in terms of quality.

Whitehouse Station is a good bit better than the other 2.

Please help me out here. Ratings as per great schools gives Hillsborough schools much better ratings.
Am I interpreting something incorrectly?

White house station schools: Rating 7 & 8. Which high school do kinds in WHS go to?

Branchburgh 9 & 9 for elementary and middle. Which high school do the kids from Branchburgh go to?

Whitehouse Station is not a town, it's just the name given to a section of Readington Township. As such, the kids are a part of the Readington Township Public Schools system. (And your local government and other services are Readington Township).

There's 2 schools for K-3, I presume the Whitehouse Station area goes to Whitehouse School, but you may want to check that. Then it's Holland Brook 4-5, Readington Middle 6-8, and Hunterdon Central High 9-12.

As everybody knows location dictates home prices when you are comparing equal houses/schools.. Whitehouse Station is a beautiful area of NJ but it is one-two towns furthur out for commuters.

If you consider Bridgewater/Raritan as almost the last commuter friendly towns then you would have, Branchburg, Hillsborough,Whitehouse/Whitehouse Station being longer commutes. Anybody considering driving from further than Whithouse is just asking for a terrible commute.

Honestly this applies to every district in the country.

No need to ask around, check scores or nothing.


If Asian and White students are less than 85% of students combined it's not great

If blacks are more than 5% it's very bad

Branchburg students go to Somerville High School in Somerville.

I don't know what constitutes a "good school" but it seemed fine when I went there. In my graduating class, the overwhelming majority of students went off to college (including some Ivy League schools), so it's good from that perspective.

Where are you commuting to? Hillsborough is a rough commute if your commute involves a train.
