Niche.com, which specializes in all different types of rankings, has released a new 2019 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 200 schools in New Jersey, both private and public schools. It includes elementary, middle and high schools all in the same list. (To view the entire list, click here.)

In this list, Niche prefers private schools. The first four out of five spots are all reserved for private schools. The first public school to crack the list is Bergen County Academies in Hackensack at number three. But there are plenty of public schools on this list.

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