West Essex Regional School District


Summary:

The West Essex Regional School District in New Jersey is home to two high-performing public schools: West Essex High School and West Essex Middle School. Both schools have consistently ranked among the top 15% of their respective grade levels in the state, with West Essex High School placing 64th out of 422 high schools and West Essex Middle School ranking 102nd out of 748 middle schools in the 2022-2023 school year.

Academically, the students at both schools outperform the state average on standardized assessments, with proficiency rates 20-30 percentage points higher than the state in core subjects. The schools also boast low dropout rates, high graduation rates, and a majority white student population with relatively low rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility, suggesting a relatively affluent student body. The district's investment in these schools is evident in their higher-than-average per-student spending and small class sizes, with student-teacher ratios around 10 to 1.

Overall, the West Essex Regional School District is home to two exceptional public schools that have consistently demonstrated academic excellence and a commitment to providing a high-quality education to their students. While the schools serve a predominantly affluent and white student population, their strong performance and resource allocation suggest they could serve as models for other districts seeking to improve educational outcomes.
