[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the county-run publics in the DC region can be solid but aren’t going to deliver top-tier education in the way that smaller public districts further north like Brookline, MA, Short Hills, NJ, or Scarsdale, NY can. [/quote]

I wouldn’t say those are top tier. If you live in those towns, go to Roxbury Latin, Lawrenceville, and Horace Mann, respectively. [/quote]

Lawrenceville is like an hour and 30 minutes away from Short Hills. PP has no idea what they're talking about. Millburn High School (which services Short Hills) is a great public school, but not even the best in NJ. Most of the people I knew in Short Hills that went private went to Pingry, Kent Place and Newark Academy for independent schools, or if they were Catholic they went to Delbarton or Oak Knoll.[/quote]

Delbarton and Pingry arent good and anything with Newark in it is a sign to run for the hills. Nonetheless, all are better options than any NJ public school.

Lawrenceville is the best HS in NJ. It’s convenient to board there from Short Hills. [/quote]
