In its last year on record, 2015-16, it enrolled 497 students across grades 9–12. That is 378 more than in 2001-02 (119) — the district had grown. Its biggest cohort is grade 9.
Students enrolled in each grade each fall, stacked to the total — so the top edge is total enrollment. Bands run from the lowest grade (light) to the highest (dark); a band that appears or disappears is a grade the school added or dropped. “Other” is students with no grade level (mostly special education), so the bands always sum to total.

In 2001-02, 76% of students were Black. By 2015-16 the largest group was Hispanic, at 77%.

Between 2011-12 and 2015-16 the makeup of this district shifted noticeably.

In 2015-16, 81.9% of students were certified for free or reduced-price lunch.
Share of students certified for free or reduced-price meals, through a household application or an automatic match. The lighter line shows the statewide, for comparison. Some districts serve free meals to every student under the Community Eligibility Provision. Those districts often stop collecting household income forms, so their reported share can run below the number of low-income students they enroll. Source: NJDOE Fall Enrollment.
On October 15, 2015 NJDOE recorded 502 students in this district and 63 of them — 12.55% — had an individualized education program (IEP). That count is public and non-public students together. Across New Jersey, adding up every district in the same file gives 16.50% on the same count.
What this number is not. A classification rate counts the students who had an IEP on one October day. It is not a count of how many students here need special education, and it is not a measure of the services they get. A rate above New Jersey’s can mean a district finds and identifies students that other districts miss, or that it classifies students another district would not; a rate below it can mean either of the opposite two things. This file cannot tell you which, and neither can this page.
Nothing here is evidence about staffing, spending, placement, out-of-district tuition, whether a program is appropriate, or whether the district is in compliance with anything. It is also not the special-education share in a district budget: that is a different count, of a different population, on a different date, and the two must not be subtracted from one another.
Some reporting units in this file are not ordinary districts. State-operated programs, county juvenile detention centers and specialized placements enroll students who were sent to them, which puts their rates far from the statewide figure for structural reasons rather than anything about how a district serves the children who live in it.
| October count | Students counted | With an IEP | Rate | New Jersey |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2015-16 †public and non-public students together | 502 | 63 | 12.55% | 16.50% |
| 2014-15 †public and non-public students together | 466 | 51 | 10.94% | 16.59% |
About the oldest years. Rows marked † were matched to this district by NJDOE's district code, but our record of which districts existed does not reach back before August 2020. A match on those years confirms the code is in use today; it is not evidence that the entity behind it is the same district, and New Jersey has merged, split and regionalised districts across this span.
About the denominator. In most of these editions NJDOE headed the enrollment column General Ed. Enrollment or a variant of it, but the query the department published alongside the file counts every student aged 3 to 21 — students with IEPs included. The published rates only reconcile against that wider reading, so that is the denominator used here. Adding the IEP count back on would deflate every rate in the affected years.
What NJDOE publishes that is not in this workbook. The classification file answers one question — how many students had an IEP — and nothing else. It is not the only special-education file New Jersey publishes, and the others are not statewide-only:
This site does not yet carry those figures. That is a gap in what we have loaded, not a gap in what the state publishes, and the difference matters if you came here looking for them.
