Hi Kkelly,

Yours is a common question, and unfortunately, one we cannot directly answer. Fair Housing laws prohibit any form of discrimination and steering toward or away from any neighborhood. Promoting one area over another because of it's school district may be construed as a form of steering.

What we can do, though, is provide you some excellent resources that provide school ratings, as well as feedback from students and parents. Since what makes a good school can be subjective, it is great to look at the list of the schools offerings also. Where one person may value college prep, another may value arts or theater or sports programs.

Here are some great links that will give you a lot of info:

NJ State puts out a report card for every school:

http://GreatSchools.net (parental and student feedback)
http://SchoolMatters.com (from Standard and Poors)

Hope this helps!
Deborah


PS......I see you used the zip code. I was going to suggest that. You can delete your other questions, which will eliminate the duplicate posts. I put my answer here already and there were no other posts on the others.
