How much the mix changed

Between 2017-18 and 2021-22 the makeup of this school shifted noticeably.

That’s a larger shift than 57% of Salem County high schools. That roughly tracks the district overall (9.7) — a district-wide change more than a school-specific one. The biggest moves, in percentage points:
White −8.2·Black +7.5·Hispanic +2.9

The index is half the sum of every group’s change in share, on a 0–100 scale (how it works). At a school this small, a few students moving can swing the index a lot. It is computed from the same counts as the makeup chart above — source: NJDOE Fall Enrollment. Compare any two years in the explorer →

The lighter lines show the district overall and Nj Regional Day - Mannington, 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.
