Generally considered one of the best states for public schools, nationally. But within the state it really depends on the town.

And its generally correlates to price. So good districts are expensive, but an average district in NJ is better than a good district many places.

I think of it more like there are districts to avoid, usually more urban, but otherwise they are really good.

This! Also, watch out for towns that “used to be good” a lot of towns went downhill after getting great ratings because they scaled back investments, or because drugs or racism got out of control- especially in the more well to do towns. Look for more that are “getting good” because the upward and downward momentum quite frequently only continue in their existing direction.

Aw c’mon I don’t like to name names but if the town is known for having a reality tv personality or low level celebrity live there, it’s definitely sus.
