This school was the best school I went to. The competition, teaching, and how CLEAN this school is is out of this world. It's just amazing! Here are some teachers I HIGHLY RECOMMEND: Mrs. Hipple, Mr. O'Neill, Mrs. Murphy, Mr. Stevenson, Mrs. Horge, Mr. McGurney, and practically anybody here. TS is FIRE AF. If you go here or have any of these teachers, you're set for life my guy

It is too competitive. It is too hard to get straight A's.

I experienced a lot of bullying in this school. The education is very good and I am happy that I have gotten to know and meet many teachers. I recommend this school for new students coming into America.

I loved this school. Ethnically, being in the majority of this school wasn't really that big of an advantage. It just means that I could relate to my peers more. In my experience, everyone was included in everything. The conversation was really open. I loved that we could talk about LGBTQ+, racism, sexism, etc. really openly. There were people who came out and they were treated just like before which was great to see. The academics were great. If you chose your course well, the material would be challenging but not so difficult that you would give up. There was a nice variety of school activities and sports. Overall, this school was great and I absolutely loved it. I would recommend it to everyone. The whole school district is wonderful. The one con about it is that the taxes are a bit pricey which is normally the case as the school gets better, the taxes get higher as it requires a good amount of money to run schools with amazing up-to-date facilities and exceptional staff. I would like to give a shout-out to Mrs. Vasiliu, the orchestra conductor/teacher. She was amazing. I loved her and miss her very much. She was just strict enough. She was funny, supportive, and kind. She really pushed me in my orchestra career and helped me grow a lot musically. Thank you so much!

Well my daughter has almost had straight A's all year so I'm happy with the teachers ability to communicate and explain what they are teaching. I do have an issue that every religion including Hinduism, Buddhism, Muslims, are being taught to the kids in detail but they skipped right over Jesus Christ. Have not taught the kids anything about that and a comment made from one of the teachers that well they thought he was God, and it's just a religion. I don't happen to think the Bible or God is religion, but my Father and creator. So every religion can have their Gods and they can teach the kids about it but not the one true God, well there is obviously a spiritual battle in the United States and in West Windsor! I do like the school and all of the classes are amazing including the electives, this is my one and only issue.

This is an amazing school with great programs, teachers, students, and a wonderful location. This schools test scores are close to perfect and the students work hard and productive each day in class without wishing they weren't in school. The staff are perfect and very respectful to the students; as the students are in return. This school deserves to win this because they and a 11/10 in my book.

The person below me obviously has never been to this school, nor has he/she ever bothered to learn about the school records. Behold, the results of the American Diploma Project Test of 2011 in math: 7% of New Jersey has received an "advanced proficient" rating in Algebra 1, yet 30% of the entire school population received that same rating (675 or above out of 800). If those standards are low, then so is the IQ of the below reviewer. Has any other school walked away with trophies each year in orchestra competitions for about 9 years in a row? The Thomas R. Grover Middle School 8th grade orchestra has consistently received the highest cumulative scores in such competitions out of all age groups (high school, middle school, etc) and group types (band, orchestra, choir, etc). If such a school is considered "unruled" and "libertine" (obviously the below parent has never attended a school before), then everything else probably is. Although my opinion of the school may be slightly biased because I am a student at it, the facts speak for themselves.
