Paramus Catholic High School

The teachers are excellent. They are available for extra help and communicate well with parents. Many classes are offered; if you child is a high achiever there are AP classes and Project Acceleration classes, where students can earn college credit. If your child needs help, there are additional class periods for English and study skills.The teachers really care about the students. Also, my daughter told me there really are no cliques. Students are friendly to each other. There is no "snob appeal" here as exists in other schools in this area. My son and daughter did very well, even though they have different abilities. I am very happy.

I was just accepted to Paramus Catholic most my friends that go thier say that is the best so ever, and i think so too. When I went there for student for a day, i saw how Paramus catholic offers great opportunities than other schools, and can't wait to go there next year.

As an Alumni ('84) and parent of a recent graduate('08), I can speak for PC. It is large, but class sizes are not..Teachers care! They are always avail for help!..the school is state of the art!.. There is something there for everyone! You make it your own experience.. I loved PC as an All-girls school in the 80's and even more with all the opportunities it provides now..I see the changes and the vision of the school..Being part of the Paladin Family is an honor! I have 2 more children and with the grace of God they will also graduate from PC!

I am currently a sophomore at PC, and I disagree with the comment about the teachers. I believe they are outstanding. I am learning so much, compared to my friends who go to other schools. Go Paladins!

I don't think this school is too good. I seen the children never get caught when they cause trouble, and in my opinion, the teachers are not very efficient. The activities are great and all, and everyone is welcoming, but I seen better schools.

I am currently attending PC and cannot wait until sophomore year. Last year, being my first year at PC, was absolutely wonderful! They have a welcoming staff, friendly teachers, a Catholic curriculum, and take all problems seriously. We learn much and have fun at the same time. I am still amazed at how many different sports & club activities they have to offer. PC '11

I am currently a student at Paramus Catholic, and I could not be more happy at a school. I live in a wealthy Bergen County town with a highly-rated high school, but I chose to go to PC because of the opportunities it offers. I was accepted to Don Bosco with a sizable scholarship and to St. Peter's Prep, but PC fit my personal needs. St. Peter's is an excellent school, but the campus is highly urban and difficult to reach from my area. I felt that Don Bosco offered the usual Bergen County boys school mentality of offering mediocre academics with too much emphasis on their sports programs (commonly known as 'joke schools'). Paramus Catholic offers an excellent education for a motivated student, a reasonable tuition, a great campus, excellent teachers, and an overall excellent experience. I could not be happier. Go

Overall a very good school. My second stepdaughter is currently a freshman and has already become immersed in fall sports and clubs to the point where I can hardly believe she coordinates her time. Having had another student enrolled here this only enforces my belief that given the right tools and environment, students can and will achieve a quality secondary education and will be well prepared for college and beyond.

This school is of average quality. It is much better than some of the areas inner-city schools, but as a 'Catholic' school i dont think it matches up. Kids used to get away with a lot when i was there. Many teachers are great though!

Maybe nationally this school is passable but for the area it just doesn't stack up to Bergen Catholic, Don Bosco, or even St. Joe's. Not so academically or athletically.
