What changed?

These measures follow the same rule on every school page, not a ranking of this school’s biggest changes. Each row names its evidence dates; trend rows do not describe every year in between.

These are descriptive measures from statewide NJDOE datasets, not a quality rating or an explanation of cause. Proficiency, attendance, and graduation figures use All Students; subgroup patterns may differ.

Enrollment over time

In its last year on record, 2018-19, it enrolled 31 students across grades 9–12. That is 311 fewer than in 2012-13 (342) — the school had shrunk.

What the school looks like

The largest group in both 2012-13 and 2018-19 was Hispanic students — 84% then, 58% now.

How much the mix changed

Between 2014-15 and 2018-19 the makeup of this school barely moved.

That’s the fourth-largest shift among the district’s five high schools — smaller than 62% of Hudson County high schools. That roughly tracks the district overall (6.6) — a district-wide change more than a school-specific one. The biggest moves, in percentage points:
Asian +4.5·Black −2.9·Hispanic −2.7

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

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.

Graduation rate

In 2018-19, 60% of students graduated within four years — up from 45% in 2012-13.

Four-year graduation rate — the share of a class that finishes within four years of entering ninth grade (New Jersey’s state calculation). The lighter lines show the district overall and New Jersey, for comparison. The record runs from 2012-13 to 2018-19, assembled from ten annual workbooks: the current one publishes five graduating classes, and the nine before it publish the rest. The figures for 2012-13 and 2013-14 are printed to the whole percent: that is how the 2015-16 workbook published them, and it is the only edition that does. The statewide line starts in 2018-19, because that is the first edition in which NJDOE printed a statewide rate beside each school’s own. Points from 2018-19 and earlier are matched to this school 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.

Chronic absenteeism

In 2018-19, 76.9% of students were chronically absent — missing at least 10% of school days — up from 68% in 2015-16.

How the state has judged this school

2016-17 · the ESSA record

New Jersey has published a summative rating for Knowledge Advanced Skills in one school year under ESSA. The rating is a percentile inside a group of schools NJDOE considers comparable — where the school placed among them, not a score and not a grade.

There is one rating here, for 2016-17. One rating is a reading, not a direction.

The long numbers are NJDOE’s own. It rounded the summative score in the 2016-17 preliminary edition, stopped rounding for the 2016-17 final through 2018-19, and rounded again from 2021-22 on. This page prints what each edition printed and shortens nothing.

NJDOE published 2016-17 twice. The preliminary edition below measures the same school year as the final one above it, with seven indicators instead of eight — Progress toward ELP was, in the state’s January 2018 words, “not yet available”. Every one of the 2,105 summative scores moved between the two. It is one year, not two, and the preliminary edition is comparable with nothing.
