City - Chatham

Chatham, New Jersey sits in Morris County just 25 miles west of Midtown Manhattan, making it one of the more well-connected small towns along the Morris and Essex rail line. The town carries a distinct small-borough character: tree-lined streets, a walkable downtown along Main Street, and a pace that feels genuinely unhurried compared to the suburbs closer to the city. Chatham Borough and Chatham Township together make up the broader Chatham area, each with its own local government but sharing the same tight-knit identity.

The local economy leans heavily on its proximity to major corporate corridors in Morris County and along Route 24, drawing commuters who work in pharmaceutical, financial, and tech sectors. Drew University in nearby Madison and Fairleigh Dickinson University add an academic presence to the surrounding region.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
