High Schools in Ridgefield Park Public School District

The Ridgefield Park Public School District in New Jersey is home to a single high school, Ridgefield Park Junior Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school's performance data reveals some areas of concern, particularly in academic achievement and student attendance.

Ridgefield Park Junior Senior High School has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by the 41.99% free and reduced-price lunch rate. The school's academic performance, as measured by NJSLA test scores, is generally lower than the state averages across multiple subject areas and grade levels. For example, in English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rates range from 44.1% to 50.5%, compared to the state averages of 55.7% and 52.1%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates vary widely, from 0% in 10th grade Algebra I to 88.6% in 8th grade Algebra I, with the state averages being 13.2% and 66%, respectively.

Another area of concern is the school's chronic absenteeism rate, which stands at 25.9%, significantly higher than the state's target of 10% or less. This high rate of chronic absenteeism may contribute to the school's lower academic performance and suggests the need for targeted interventions to improve student attendance. Despite these challenges, the school maintains a relatively low dropout rate of 0.7% and a four-year graduation rate of 92.9%, which is slightly lower than the state average.
