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’ve had three children who’ve gone here. The Principal is horrible and I’m shocked she still has her job considering how she has treated me t children and myself. They don’t go the extra mile for the children or even go the basic mile.

Overall we have enjoyed McCarter. There have only been a few miscommunications when it come to events and details.
