Enrollment, by grade

In 2025-26 it enrolled 285 students across grades 9–12. That is 87 more than in 1998-99 (198) — the school has grown. It peaked at 337 in 2004-05. 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.

What the school looks like

In 1998-99, 62% of students were White. By 2025-26 the largest group was Hispanic, at 46%.

How much the mix changed

Between 2021-22 and 2025-26 the makeup of this school shifted noticeably.

13.6

Shift index

That’s the largest shift among the district’s five high schools — larger than 96% of Bergen County high schools. The district as a whole shifted just 7.6 over the same years, making this school an outlier. The biggest moves, in percentage points:

Hispanic +12.5·White −9.1·Black −4.1

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

Free or reduced-price lunch

In 2025-26, 36.8% 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 lines show the district overall and the district high schools, 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.

How the state has judged this school

The waiver record. Annual editions between 2012 and 2016, most recent first. Read each band against itself and not against the others — the state changed what it measured, and how, twice inside those five years.

New Jersey’s ESEA Flexibility waiver ended after the 2016 edition, and the archive bundles for 2017 and 2018 return 404 on every build of the source release. That bounds the waiver record; it says nothing about the ESSA record above, which runs from 2016-17 without a break the state did not itself declare.

2012 – 2014 · progress targets, on NJASK and HSPA

Each group large enough to score was measured against a progress target set for it individually, on NJASK and HSPA. These three years are comparable with each other. Most cells are empty by design — a group below the state’s minimum size got no determination at all. YES* never means the target was met. In these editions it marks a group that missed the printed target and was credited inside a 95% confidence interval, and it appears in the performance column.

2014 unmarked

This edition asserts nothing about whether it is preliminary or final, so neither does this page. A dash means the group was below the state’s own minimum size — 40 students for participation, 30 for performance — so nothing was determined for it at all.

Graduation rate. The state credited a group that cleared the 2013 four-year bar or the 2012 five-year bar; both inputs and the indicator they fed are shown separately, because which route the state took is the thing worth seeing. Most rows print only the four-year column — a dash in the five-year column means the state printed nothing there, not that the group failed.

2013 final

New Jersey labelled this edition final. A dash means the group was below the state’s own minimum size — 40 students for participation, 30 for performance — so nothing was determined for it at all.

On this page NJDOE printed a determination against no published target in one place; printed a determination token that appears in no legend it published in three places. Those cells are shown exactly as published and are corrected from nothing.

The waiver determinations are what New Jersey printed on this school’s annual ESEA accountability profile, kept exactly as printed and corrected from nothing. Each edition’s glyphs are read against that edition’s own legend, because the same asterisk means different things in different years. Editions this school does not appear in are simply absent here; no year is inferred from its neighbours. Source: NJDOE’s Title I accountability archive, 2012–2016.
