Good publick schools in NJ near Manhattan? (Jersey City, Bayonne: best school districts, title)

[bluewin888]

from Fort Lee to Jersey city, half an hr within Manhattan?

blue ribbon?


Or just go to private schools.

Rutherford, Leonia, Fort Lee and Hasbrouck Heights. While not the best school districts Jersey has to offer, these are the solidly good ones that are closest to Manhattan. 30-45 minute commutes.

It's fairly difficult to find a bad public school in NJ, it's ranked second in the nation as a whole: https://wallethub.com/edu/states-wit...-schools/5335/

And most of the scores do very well on an international scale as well:

You'll find pockets of "not as good," but even those individual schools would be top ranked in a lot of other states.

The OP listed cities on the river, none of those schools are in that area.

please review the list more closely

ahh I just skimmed your post, I wrongly assumed my list and your list was the same. Yes if you look at past blue ribbon schools, there are a lot more like Fort Lee, Jersey City (Mcnair is hard to get into), Bayonne, Weehawken, Tenafly
