How much the mix changed

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

That’s the largest shift among the district’s eight high schools — and the biggest of 38 across Union County. The district as a whole shifted just 6.9 over the same years, making this school an outlier. The biggest moves, in percentage points:
Hispanic −68.3·White +52.4·Black +15.9

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 →

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.
