Over the last month or so, our New Jersey affiliate: New Jersey Admissions Advisors, has been receiving many calls from parents who reside in New Jersey who are choosing to have their children apply to private high schools in New Jersey. For some families it’s the first time applying and for others, they are reapplying, because they were previously rejected or not removed from the waitlist.
In New Jersey, the competition to gain admissions to top private high schools is heating up this year. As more and more parents discover the major challenges in suburban high schools: (a) large class sizes, (b) not much flexibility when it comes to curriculum (c) they are under more bureaucratic red tape when it comes to regulations and rules, (d) larger school counselor-student ratio; they are willing to forgo public school education (and pay tuition), which increases the application pool and competition to gain admissions into coveted slots.
Additionally, alarmed parents have been calling us because of the report from the Department of Education of the falling student literacy rate/reading skills of students in New Jersey public schools.
