Parents are always concerned about their kids getting the best education and experience from their time in School each year.  In past decades, people have moved to certain communities to ensure their kids get the opportunity to attend good schools.

The hope is that children get the education they need from kindergarten to 8th Grade that will set them up for success in High School and then for High School to prepare them for College.

Thanks to New Jersey's Public School Choice Program, there are more choices for parents to send their kids to attend than in years past. Parents are no longer "stuck" sending their kids to the primary sending district or having to move to another community for "better schools".

The website Niche does research every year to learn about each New Jersey School and serves as an independent grader of these educational institutions. This tool gives parents more information about what Schools are the best choice for their children.
