Northern Valley Regional High School District


Summary:

The Northern Valley Regional High School District in New Jersey is home to three exceptional schools: two high schools, Northern Valley Regional High School at Old Tappan and Northern Valley Regional High School at Demarest, as well as an alternative school, Northern Valley Central. These schools consistently rank among the top in the state, with Demarest being the standout, ranking 18th out of 422 New Jersey high schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The two high schools in the district demonstrate exceptional academic performance, with Demarest leading the way with 84.5% of 9th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 96.8% proficient or better in Geometry. Old Tappan also performs exceptionally well, with 72.9% of 9th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 84% proficient or better in Geometry. Both schools have very low dropout rates and high graduation rates, indicating a strong commitment to student success.

While the high schools serve a predominantly white and Asian student population, Northern Valley Central has a more diverse racial makeup, with higher percentages of Hispanic and African American students. However, the district as a whole serves a relatively affluent community, as evidenced by the low percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic homogeneity may contribute to the high academic achievement, but it also raises questions about equity and access to high-quality education within the district.
