In its last year on record, 2017-18, it enrolled 295 students across grades 9–12. That is 170 more than in 2014-15 (125) — the district had grown. It peaked at 454 in 2015-16. 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.

The largest group in both 2014-15 and 2017-18 was Black students — 66% then, 63% now.

In 2017-18, 60.7% 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, 2016 NJDOE recorded 288 students in this district and 43 of them — 14.93% — 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 16.77% 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2016-17 †public and non-public students together | 288 | 43 | 14.93% | 16.77% |
| 2014-15 †public and non-public students together | 123 | 19 | 15.45% | 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.

In 2017-18, 86.5% of students graduated within four years.
Four-year graduation rate — the share of a class that finishes within four years of entering ninth grade (New Jersey’s state calculation). Points from 2017-18 and earlier are matched to this district by its state code; New Jersey’s organization record only reaches back to 2020-08-11, so for those years the code is verified and the identity behind it is not.

In 2017-18, 0% of students were chronically absent — missing at least 10% of school days — down from 17.3% in 2016-17.
Chronic absenteeism — the share of students who missed 10% or more of the days they were enrolled (roughly 18 days across a full school year). Points from 2017-18 and earlier are matched to this district by its state code; New Jersey’s organization record only reaches back to 2020-08-11, so for those years the code is verified and the identity behind it is not.

New Jersey has published a district suspension figure in eight school years, 2017-18 through 2024-25. It published none before that: the 2015-16 edition has no district workbook at all and the 2016-17 one has no removals sheet in it. This district carries a figure in one of them, all inside the part of the record New Jersey says can be compared. This district has no row at all in the 2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25 files — it is absent from the publication, which is not the same as a year it recorded nothing.
Each point is the share of this district’s own students suspended at least once that school year — one student counted once however many times they were suspended. The dashed line is New Jersey. The line stops at 2018-19 and starts again at 2021-22. The two years in between are drawn as hollow marks inside the shaded band because NJDOE printed, inside both of those workbooks, that their discipline data may not be comparable with the years either side — its words are below. Schools statewide were shut for part of spring 2020 and much of 2020-21, and the fall in those two years is very largely a fall in the number of children in a building, not in what they did. A year with no mark is a year New Jersey did not give this district a number; the table has which kind of not-giving it was.

Where the figure sits in the file changed in 2023-24. Through 2022-23 the sheet had one row per district and this was that row; from 2023-24 the sheet is one row per student group and this is the group called Districtwide, then All Students. The quantity did not change and no break is drawn there — NJDOE prints it under the same column name, AnySusp_Count, in 2017-18 and again in 2024-25, with one edition in between spelling it #StudentsAnySuspension and then changing back.
| Measure | Editions | Span |
|---|---|---|
| Suspended at least once | one | 2017-18 to 2017-18 |
| In-school suspension | one | 2017-18 to 2017-18 |
| Out-of-school suspension | one | 2017-18 to 2017-18 |
| Removed to another program | one | 2017-18 to 2017-18 |
| Expelled | one | 2017-18 to 2017-18 |
| Involved in an incident leading to arrest | one | 2017-18 to 2017-18 |
| School days missed to out-of-school suspension | one | 2017-18 to 2017-18 |
There is no trend by student group, and this page does not draw one. New Jersey has published suspension broken out by race, sex, income and disability exactly twice — 2023-24 and 2024-25 — and it changed the categories between them. Asian and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander were separate groups in the first year and one merged group in the second; Hispanic became Hispanic/Latino; the district total was called Districtwide and is now All Students. Seven labels came through unchanged. Two points would not be a trend even if all fifteen had, and the two race categories cannot be added back together for the earlier year because either of them may be withheld. The section below shows the current year in full. When New Jersey publishes a third edition on the categories it uses now, this becomes a series and gets a chart; until then it is two years, and they are shown as two years.
The same boundary is why only suspension has a line above it. Students referred to police and students involved in an incident leading to arrest are published by student and by grade only from 2023-24, on sheets that did not exist before — and the arrest sheet names its own columns ArrestedCount in one edition and PoliceCount in the next. An arrest figure does appear on the removals sheet from 2017-18 to 2022-23, but joining it to the later sheet would be this site deciding that two differently-named columns on two different sheets are one measure, which is exactly the decision the publisher declined to make.
On reading one district back to 2017-18. The evidence that a district code names this district begins 2020-08-11. For the editions before that, a code that resolves is a verified code rather than a verified district: it says the number is a current NJDOE organization and says nothing about what that code named in that school year. New Jersey merges and regionalizes districts, so read the early end of this line as the record filed under this code, not as a promise that the same schools were inside it.
These are reported removals — a record of decisions adults made, one row per school year in eight separate publications. A district that suspends less may be behaving differently, recording differently, or reporting differently, and this file cannot tell a reader which.
