South Hunterdon Regional High School

I have a child who attends South. I have been very happy with the teachers and the administration there. This is a good school, with great teachers and really good kids. I feel that my child is getting a great education there.

I am a parent of a student & former student myself. My experience w/SHR was not really pleasant. Teachers showed bias (both negative & positive) based on their experiences w/my parents or former family that attended. Luckily that has changed. There is really not many special programs for children needing extra help & the school doesn't seem very interested in developing any to help keep them at SHR instead of sending them to an 'alternative' school. The block scheduling they have now is ridiculous as well. If your child needs 'help' this is not the school for them. That unfortunately hasn't changed in the many years since i graduated. The teachers & Child Study team are nice & try to be helpful but just don't know how sometimes.

SHRHS has demonstrated the ability to support high achieving students, by providing high quality education to those who are very motivated, from dedicated and highly qualified teachers. And as a result, and contrary to a previous commenter, high achieving students from South are accepted at many of the top colleges around the country. As a parent, I know this to be true. My own two children have succeeded very well, thanks to their teachers. As a small school, South certainly cannot be expected to provide every possible opportunity that larger schools can. But, my kids attended the highest level courses offered at South, including AP courses. Consequently they have both been accepted at their colleges of choice, and at other highly selective private colleges, receiving individual 4yr scholarship offerings in excess of $100K. What more can a parent hope for?

We are parents of an 8th grader at SHRHS and we are very happy with the education our daughter is recieving. She is challenged academically, she is doing meaningful work, her teachers are excellent,and she is involved in extracurriclar activities including sports and clubs. Plus she has a great group of peers. Other parents we know are also very happy with SHRHS and believe SHRHS is preparing our kids for college. In fact, in recent newlsetter SHRHS seniors have been accepted to schools such as Gerogetown, Boston University, Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, American University, and LaSalle. Since SHRHS is such a small school 350 kids in 7-12, the teachers and administration really get to know the kids--we beleive this is a very important during the teen years. SHRHS is a true community based public school.
