Now you can find out how public and private schools in New Jersey compare to each other on every grade level.

Niche.com, which specializes in all different types of rankings, has created a new list that is a bit different than the usual rankings the company is known for. In this one, Niche has ranked what it says are the top 100 schools in New Jersey, both private and public schools. It also includes elementary, middle and high schools all in the same list.

In this list, Niche prefers private schools. The first six spots are all reserved for private schools. The first public school to crack the list is Bergen County Academies in Hackensack at number seven.

It is important to remember that every school on this top 100 list receives either an A+ or an A for an overall score from Niche.

Niche’s methodology is based on an analysis of academic and student-life data from the U.S. Department of Education along with test scores, and feedback from Niche.com users. You can read the methodology by clicking here.
