Boasting over 140 million reviews, the online platform Niche keeps profiles on schools and colleges in the United States, and has placed three New Jersey high schools inside its top 20 Best Public High Schools for 2023.
Two private schools in the Garden State cracked the Top 20 of that list for the upcoming year as well.
Here's what Niche users are saying about each of the honorees, along with their national ranking.
