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.

My overall experience with Pompton Lakes High School can be described as the best time of my life. I got to meet new people from the school from next town over, made new friends, caught up with old ones, and got to play 3 sports. High School at Pompton Lakes is really fun and I can't wait for Sophomore year.
