GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Overall, I enjoyed Matawan as a place to attend school for my 12 years. While the people were not always the best, that would pretty much happen everywhere. The teachers always were there when you needed them, never failing to give out a helping hand. Despite the disgusting cafeteria food, Matawan was an awesome place to grow up.

My experience was interesting. The teachers really knew how to bond with the students. and there were plenty of resources for mental health, after school studies, and simply someone to vent to. The teachers were caring and very willing to help their students

I really enjoyed my time at Matawan Regional High School. I had many great teachers, many who I connected with on a personal level, and had no trouble reaching out for help when it was needed. I especially loved the sports programs, as I had a great experience on the cross country and track teams.

I sub in the school on occasion and this district is a nice place to work. Most of the children are very nice. It would be nice if they had a golf teem since non teem sorts are great for children with Autism. The sports and programs they do have all seem to be good. This school seems to be under rat...

Great School! Students are nice kids. Staff seems caring and friendly. Wish the school started a little later in the morning as 7:15 is too early to get teenagers to school, but I guess you can't have everything.
