Summary:
Somerville Public School District in New Jersey has only one high school, Somerville High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 179th out of 415 New Jersey high schools in 2021-2022 to 204th out of 426 in 2023-2024.

The school's four-year graduation rate is 91.1%, which is relatively high, while the dropout rate is 1.2%, which is relatively low. However, the per-student spending at the school is lower than the state average, which may be a contributing factor to the school's performance.
Overall, Somerville Public School District has one high school that is facing some challenges, including a declining statewide ranking and higher-than-average chronic absenteeism. The school's mixed academic performance and lower per-student spending compared to the state average suggest areas for potential improvement, which the district may want to address to support the academic success of its students.
