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. Compare any two years in the explorer →
