NJ HIGH SCHOOLS RANKED BY S.A.T SCORES

 I came across this topic on Facebook today and thought I'd share it with you. The State just recently released data revealing the average SAT test scores for every high school in New Jersey. This data is part of the state Department of Education's School Performance Reports for the 2016-17 school year. An article from Path.com then ranked the public high schools in order from lowest to highest scores. I've highlighted a few towns from our area for consideration.

It's no secret that there is a direct correlation between home values and quality of schools. A recent study showed that on average, buyers pay $50 more per square foot for homes in top-rated school districts compared with homes served by average-rated schools. So where does your town rank?
