Summary:
The Montgomery Township School District in New Jersey is home to one exceptional high school, Montgomery High School. This school has consistently ranked among the top 31 high schools in the state and maintains a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, the highest possible. With a high four-year graduation rate of 91.1% and students performing exceptionally well on state assessments, Montgomery High School is a standout institution in the district.
The school's academic excellence is further evidenced by its low student-teacher ratio of 13.4 and above-average spending per student of $13,405. While the school has a slightly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% compared to the state's target of 10%, it maintains a low dropout rate of 1.2%, well below the state average. These metrics suggest a strong focus on providing a high-quality education and supporting student engagement and success.
However, the school's relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (4.24%) indicates a predominantly affluent student population, raising questions about equity and access to high-quality education for students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite this, Montgomery High School's continuous improvement and commitment to excellence make it a desirable option for families seeking a top-performing high school in the area.
