The top high school in New Jersey is an ultra-competitive magnet school in Middlesex County, according to new data released by the state Department of Education.
New Jersey released an update to its controversial school ratings system this month that gives parents a look at how their schools compare to others, using data from the 2022-23 school year.
Woodbridge Academy Magnet School, a specialized biomedical high school in the Middlesex County Vocational and Technical School District, had the highest rating in the state, with a perfect score. The high school, which recently changed its name from Middlesex County Academy for Allied Health and Biomedical Sciences, requires students to submit an application and take an admissions test. The school was ranked second in the state the previous year.
