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.

I had a great experience at Rahway High. Though I didn't start off too a good start academically, I definitely ended off my High school years on a good note both academically and mentally!

At Rahway high school students are given opportunities to participate in so many clubs and sports . With lots of school pride we have fun events and lots of speakers coming to the school. However, the students at Rahway highschool do not respect the school. The bathrooms have graffiti, toilet paper either ran out or thrown on the floor, in some classrooms there are bugs. Also, the people in the school make the ideal of highschool not fun. They ruin it for others.

RAHWAY HIGH SCHOOL, amongst other things is a place of second to none experience and learning.
