Seton Hall Prep is a great school to attend. Everyone gets along no matter where you came from as this school is like a brotherhood. From athletics to clubs you will always find something that interests you. I think the best part at Seton Hall is how much the teachers help their students to succeed. The bonds between guys are amazing as I have met some great friends. The only thing that I do not like is the food. The food can be pretty good or really bad. It is not the food that is unhealthy, it can be times where the food is too bland.

My son attended Seton Hall and I could not have been more disappointed. This school did not prepare my son for the future at all and all they do is care about sports, even though their funding for sports is terrible. My son wanted to transfer after his Freshman year because it was too easy and he wa...

My 3 children went to 3 different high schools. SHP was the best among them. They know how to teach boys and they know how to discipline them. I was never so happy with a school as I am with SHP. Bravo SHP!
