Sparta Township Public School District

The Sparta Township Public School District in New Jersey operates 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with Sparta High School consistently ranking in the top 25% of New Jersey high schools over the past 3 years and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Among the standout schools in the district, Sparta High School is particularly impressive, with a 96.1% four-year graduation rate, a low 0.1% dropout rate, and students outperforming the state average in NJSLA/NJSLA-S assessments across multiple subjects and grade levels. Alpine Elementary School also stands out, maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 136th out of 1,363 New Jersey elementary schools in 2013-2014, though its high student-to-teacher ratio of 12.6 may be a potential area of concern.

The district's elementary schools show mixed academic performance, with some outperforming the state average in certain subjects and others underperforming. Additionally, the district's schools have a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly affluent student population, which may be a consideration in terms of ensuring equitable access to resources and opportunities for all students.
