In 2025-26 it enrolled 296 students across grades K–12. That is 118 more than in 2005-06 (178) — the school has grown. It peaked at 400 in 2020-21. Its biggest cohort is grade 8.

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 2005-06 and 2025-26 was Black students — 92% then, 64% now.

How much the mix changed

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

That’s a smaller shift than 74% of New Jersey combined schools. The biggest moves, in percentage points:

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

Growth measures how much students progressed over the year against peers who scored the same the year before — 50 is a typical year. In 2024-25, this school’s median growth percentile was 52 in English and 55 in math — NJ calls this “typical” growth.

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 line shows New Jersey, for comparison. New Jersey also reports a federal four-year rate (90.5% for 2024-25); the two use slightly different cohort rules. Source: NJ School Performance Reports, 2024-25.
