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.

In 1998-99, 39% of students were Black. By 2010-11 the largest group was Hispanic, at 48%.

How much the mix changed

Between 2006-07 and 2010-11 the makeup of this school barely moved.

That’s a smaller shift than 70% of Bergen County middle schools. That roughly tracks the district overall (6.1) — a district-wide change more than a school-specific one. The biggest moves, in percentage points:
Hispanic +3.1·White −2.4·Black −0.7
