Report also ranks Bernards Township's Ridge High School at No. 200 in nation.
Ridge High School is this year ranked no. 14 in New Jersey, and no. 200 in the U.S., according to U.S. News and World Report's annual rating of top high schools. Ridge was no. 12 last year, but now nine of the top 16 schools are magnet schools which are allowed to be selective about the students they admit, noted Sean Siet, assistant superintendent in Bernards Schools. As far as comprehensive public high schools — who must accept any student within the district — Ridge can be counted as the number five comprehensive school in New Jersey, according to the report's criteria, Siet said. That criteria includes the ratio of teachers to students, college readiness, and proficiency in math and language, according to the categories in the high …

UPDATED: Next step is to seek Somerset County's input for proposal on the table, schools superintendent says.
The school district will move ahead with looking at the practical aspects of following through on the Ridge Task Force's favored option for improving traffic flow and campus safety at Ridge High School during morning dropoffs. The next step will be to seek the county's feedback on a plan to move a two-way driveway slightly north to an existing one-way drive off South Finley Avenue, said Schools Superintendent Nick Markarian on Monday night. At last month's meeting, several of the school board members said they were leaning toward option nine, at a cost of just under $150,000. Even so, Markarian cautioned during his March presentation, "We are trying to solve a problem that doesn't really have an ideal solution. On Tuesday night, the …

I graduated from Chatham borough in 1978. My older brother who played baseball would talk about the corn field he just played their game on in Basking Ridge. I think Chatham is the school who is just above Ridge 's rating. Believe me it is completely different in Chatham now. The new people in this little small town that I grew up in and which my parents still live in the same house they bought … more ›
