As such, the community is a popular choice for students, faculty, and staff. Rental options abound in Piscataway, from luxury apartments and modest condos to spacious houses and charming townhomes.

Golf courses, sports stadiums, parks, river views, and historical architecture are just a few of the unique finds you’ll discover in Piscataway. A must-visit spot is the East Jersey Old Town Village, where restored buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries offer historic and educational insight to residents and visitors alike.

School data provided by GreatSchools The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. 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.
