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 2025-26 it enrolled 1,670 students. Enrollment has been roughly steady since 2002-03 (1,632). It peaked at 1,921 in 2004-05.

How much the mix changed

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

That’s the largest shift among the district’s three high schools — larger than 56% of Essex County high schools. That roughly tracks the district overall (7.4) — a district-wide change more than a school-specific one. The biggest moves, in percentage points:
Black −7.9·White +4.1·Hispanic +3.3

Since 2014, some districts provide free meals to all students regardless of household income, which can lift the eligible share. 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.)

English language arts: 16.1% met or exceeded expectations in 2024-25 (state 53%), about the same as in 2021-22.

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.

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 (71.9% for 2024-25); the two use slightly different cohort rules.
