School Reviews
5 8/23/2024
The transformation I saw in my son after just his first year at Saint Joe's was amazing. He went from being an average student who didn't really care too much about school before high school to a young man who challenged himself academically and ended up taking honors and AP courses and graduating with a 4.3 GPA and with multiple scholarship offers for college. We could not say enough great things about Saint Joseph HS.
5 4/20/2024
Great school, deceiving how big it is. You must make an appointment and go for a tour. They have a fantastic sports program which includes all sports, but our favorites is hockey and even rowing! Take the time and go see for yourself!
5 5/12/2023
Amazing college prep school experience with outstanding academics, top-ranked athletics, engaging extracurricular activities and academic teams, and a sprawling 76-acre campus are what make Saint Joe`s so amazing. Pair that with the exceptional foundation you receive rooted in Christian values and this school is by far in a league of its own. Its population is in the 500s and remains the best school for boys in New Jersey.
