A school that matters less than everyone thinks it does.
Who cares if it's got hundreds of extremely wealthy, entitled students? It blends in perfectly with other New Jersey wealthy towns like Livingston, Summit, Chatham, Far Hills, Essex Falls, Mountain Lakes, Watchung, Glen Ridge, etc.
Students from Millburn will end up at good colleges, but are by no means incredibly smart. Half the grade, on average, gets below an 1800 on the SATs.
There are also all the usual high school cliques, including the jocks, nerds, preps, goths, skaters, stoners, japs, and outcasts.
It's hit-or-miss in terms of teacher quality, and there are plenty of troubled kids always breaking the rules for reasons beyond "Well-my-daddy-told-me, I-can-do-anything-I-want."
There are hardly any field trips, but the music program is quite good, and there's a nice new turf football field. However, typical of an affluent, intense town, the arts program is notoriously underfunded.
Chances are, once a kid leaves Millburn High, they won't be remembering the four years there as "the best in their lives" and "the only time they felt truly at home" and "the time when I could be myself".
It's high school. Get over yourselves. It's not like life.
No one judges you by judging Millburn. Wait until you make something of yourself before you start measuring yourself up in the eyes of the world.

Mika: I went to Millburn High back in the day.
Joey: Oh. I've heard it's really rich and full of conformist JAPs, and that everyone is a genius, and the parties really suck, and everyone is always getting high on their dad's money before embarking on fabulous Wall Street careers.
Mika: Nope. I spent my summers at home, and I had normal friends, who I partied with, but we were never out of control because we wanted our parents to trust us, and we were rich, but not rich enough to misunderstand the value of money.
Joey: Oh. What do you do now?
Mika: Well, I went to NYU, and I've been working really heard as an accountant. Life isn't a bed of roses, but it's not bad either.
Joey: So, have you been back to visit?
Mika: Nah, it isn't really worth my time.

Get the Millburn High mug.nHallways filled left to right with JAPs (jewish american princesses) with tightest asses, the biggest noses, and flattest abs who back it up with ample privelege from Daddy. Drinking with lawyers, executives, doctors, and the occasional judge is quite the norm. The question is not how much the item is, its how many you have purchase. Children of connected privelege; where SAT's dont matter and educations are given away through connections like invitations.

Get the Millburn High mug.Related Words
there are two sides to this middle school. for one, the popular kids. they are all jewish, white, and have daddys money. they are entitled, toxic, and i do not recommend ever becoming friends with one of them. even if one of them seems nice, they will tell their whole friend group and will tell the whole school. the girls wear tight lulu lemon leggings that show off their nonexistent ass. the boys wear basketball shorts, or sweatpants. both gender groups wear nothing but bat/bar-mitzvah sweatshirts. the boys think they are from the getto because they listen to the same 5 rappers on repeat and say offensive slurs. they are all very stupid and buy their way to A’s. just in summary, they are spoiled, toxic, entitled, rude, and gross. then there are the non-popular kids. these kids are the kids you want to be around. you most likely will find a friend here. they are mostly very true and loyal. but watch out for the gays/emos. they are all super nice and fun but you kinda do have to watch what you say around them or else they will drop you faster than you can think no apology’s accepted. they will and are very good friends though. in this school though, be carful of who you trust. your information will be spread faster than a California wild fire if you tell the wrong person. . if you go to this school please be careful. people body shame, slut shame, are homophobic, racist, abilist, etc. when i used to go here my mental health dropped so low it was insane.
wait what is the middle school full of white spoiled entitled trash again…?

Get the Millburn Middle School mug.An ok place to live. There are awfully, terrible, snobby people who live there, and people who act like sluts and think they're cool. However, there are also really nice people and very smart people. The ignorant, "slutty" people are very annoying, but they won't get in your way...much. There are some very nice teachers and really mean teachers, but overall, they're ok. The stress is immense, and so is the homework load. There are different groups of popular people and un-popular people. There are the snobby, slutty, rich popular people, the semi-nice, smartish, but still fashionable popular people, and there are the they should be more popular, popular people. In the unpopular ground there are the emo, gay, lesbian, nice unpopular people, the nerdy, quiet, I-don't-feel-comfortable-talking-to unpopular people, and the fun, crazy, nice, yet can be a bit odd unpopular people. In Millburn, the restaurants are nice, some are popular but some are really bad. There are so many ice cream places. The deli is the best, and almost everything is expensive. To blend in you need to be rich, pretty, a bit smart, and fashionable. The housing is nice, but can be expensive. When you go to college, you are expected to go to an ivy league, but if you don't you won't really care because you will be happy you left.
Normal person: Hey, how are you?
Snobby Millburn person: Awesome! Hold on I'm going to take some pictures of myself in sexual poses.

Unpopular Millburn person: I know...people like that ruin our town popularity.

Get the Millburn mug.The Millburn Effect is the sense of dread/anger/disbelief triggered by watching someone blithely make illogical and dangerous decisions that will have life-threatening consequences for themselves and others.
It is named after the biologist played by Rafe Spall in the Alien prequel science fiction film "Prometheus", who upon encountering a lethal-looking alien cobra, decides to pet it like a kitten.
It describes feelings of bewildered anger and anxiety resulting from watching people act with reckless stupidity and thus endangering themselves and others like the f**kheads they are.

"Why did Millburn try to pick up the space cobra?"
"Because he's a f*****g moron, lad."
