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, by grade

In 2025-26 it enrolled 236 students across grades 9–12. That is 222 more than in 2016-17 (14) — the school has 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.

What the school looks like

The largest group in both 2016-17 and 2025-26 was White students — 100% then, 61% now.

How much the mix changed

Between 2021-22 and 2025-26 the makeup of this school changed substantially.

That’s the largest shift among the district’s four high schools — and the biggest of 24 across Morris County. The district as a whole shifted just 6.8 over the same years, making this school an outlier. The biggest moves, in percentage points:
White −14.4·Hispanic +14.3·Black +2.1

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, 4.2% 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.

Test scores

On the NJSLA — New Jersey’s state test — here is how students have scored over recent years and by grade. (New Jersey reports student-growth scores only through grade 8, so they are not available for high schools.)

In each panel the flat line is the proficiency boundary: levels 4–5 (met or exceeded) fill the area above it, levels 1–3 below — so a smaller reported share in levels 4–5 makes the area above the line shrink (it isn’t a misleading upward slope). Light = level 1 (did not yet meet expectations), dark = level 5 (exceeded); the % marks the proficient share at the first and last points. The first set of panels follows each grade across the years; the second lines up aggregate grade results one grade higher each year. It approximates a class cohort, not linked individual students. Growth is the median Student Growth Percentile (50 = a typical year), reported only through grade 8. The NJSLA was not given in spring 2020 and was disrupted the next year.

Graduation rate

In 2024-25, 100% of students graduated within four years — up from 91.7% in 2021-22.

  • 2019-20 — graduation assessment requirement waived. Graduation assessment requirements were waived for any 12th grade student who was expected to graduate in the class of 2020 but, as of March 18, 2020, had not yet met the graduation assessment requirement. Additionally, the requirement to report on status in meeting annual ESSA targets was waived for 2019-2020. As a result, annual targets and status in meeting those targets are not reported for Cohort 2019 4-year and Cohort 2018 5-year graduation rates (NJDOE uses prior year graduation rates for accountability purposes). NJDOE 2019-20 workbook notes sheet.
  • 2020-21 — graduation assessment requirement waived. Graduation assessment requirements were waived for any 12th grade student who had not yet met the graduation assessment requirements, but had met all credit, curriculum, and attendance requirements for graduation. Additionally, the requirement to report on status in meeting annual ESSA targets was waived for 2020-2021. As a result, annual targets and status in meeting those targets are not reported for Cohort 2020 4-year and Cohort 2019 5-year graduation rates. NJDOE 2020-21 workbook notes sheet.

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. New Jersey also reports a federal four-year rate (100% for 2024-25); the two use slightly different cohort rules. The record runs from 2021-22 to 2024-25, assembled from ten annual workbooks: the current one publishes five graduating classes, and the nine before it publish the rest. 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. Source: NJ School Performance Reports, 2015-16 through 2024-25.

Chronic absenteeism

In 2024-25, 11.1% of students were chronically absent — missing at least 10% of school days — up from 0% in 2016-17.

  • 2020-21 — in-person and remote days differed. The requirement to report status in meeting annual ESSA targets for 2020-2021 was waived. As a result, NJDOE will not report state averages and whether state averages were met for 2020-2021. Additionally, because the number of days students spent in in-person and remote learning environments during the school year differed, the NJDOE recommends caution in comparing 2020-2021 attendance data between schools and districts and to prior or future school years. NJDOE 2020-21 workbook notes sheet.

2019-20 is blank because New Jersey collected no attendance data that year, not because nobody was absent. The requirement to report on chronic absenteeism and related accountability measures for the 2019-2020 school year was waived. As a result, NJDOE will not report on chronic absenteeism and other attendance data for 2019-2020. Tables showing attendance data will be hidden in the 2019-2020 reports. NJDOE 2019-20 workbook notes sheet.

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). The lighter lines show the district overall and New Jersey, for comparison. The current workbook publishes four years of this measure; the years before them come from each earlier year’s own workbook, which publish the same figures wherever the two overlap. The statewide line starts in 2021-22, 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.

How the state has judged this school

2021-22 – 2024-25 · the ESSA record

New Jersey’s ESSA calculation workbooks carry a row for Medicine, Innovation, Government, And Environmental Science, but no summative rating in any of them. What the workbooks did publish about it is below.

This school’s record does not read as one series. New Jersey changed how the rating is built partway through, so it divides into two stretches — 2021-22 to 2023-24 and 2024-25. Years inside one stretch may be compared with each other; across a break there is no fair comparison, and this page draws none. What changed at each break is printed at the break.

NJDOE reweighted the high-school composite for 2024-25: proficiency fell from 17.5% to 15% in each subject, the five-year graduation rate from 25% to 10%, a six-year rate entered at 10%, and chronic absenteeism fell from 15% to 10%.

New Jersey did not publish a summative score for this school for 2024-25.

NJDOE’s Targeted Summary published no student-group flag for this school for 2026-27.

These are policy-defined values: which indicators count, and how much each counts, is set by New Jersey’s ESSA plan, not by any measure of school quality. The weights are specific to this school — an indicator that drops out shifts weight onto the rest, so the same indicator is worth different points at different schools. The workbooks measure 2024-25 and were published on April 2, 2026; 2024-25 was not a year New Jersey identified schools for comprehensive or targeted support, so these files carry no CSI or ATSI status. These weights are 2024-25’s: the indicator set and the weighting have both moved across the eight editions above, and for some school types they moved in this one.
