To be totally honest, I can't say many nice things about the South Orange schools. To be 100% brutally honest, I have nothing nice to say about South Orange, or the schools there.South Orange is right by(bordering) Newark, and Newark is honestly a very "crummy" area. The best thing you can do is to work there but move at least 15 minutes out and commute a bit further. You will thank yourself in the long run. The Montcalir/Nutley/Clifton area right nearby is so much better.Basically, South Orange is more "inner-city" type as opposed to the suburbs. Take from that what you will, but one of the results are a schools system that doesn't rank as well as neighboring districts on test scores, and is under-funded.Avoid it if you can!Hope this helps!!!
