Nerdwallet.com usually writes about the best credit cards and mortgages you can get. But on Sunday, it came out with a list of “Best School Districts for Your Buck in New Jersey“, and Verona is on the list.
In fact we’re number four, behind Haddonfield, Glen Rock and Bernards, and ahead of districts like Pequannock, Princeton Regional and New Providence. None of our neighboring towns made the list, which ranked 266 districts in New Jersey in terms of standardized test scores, college readiness and class size.
Here’s what the site had to say about Verona:
In Verona, school quality is widespread: Over the past 20 years, three of Verona’s six public schools, including Verona High School, have been recognized as “Star Schools,” the highest honor for schools in New Jersey. Verona has a 99% graduation rate and 97.2% of students score proficient or higher on the HSPA. Additionally, over the past five years, Verona High School has recorded 32 state and conference championships by its boys and girls sports teams.
