Bogota Junior/Senior High School

Summary:

Bogota Junior/Senior High School is a public high school serving grades 8-12 in Bogota, New Jersey, with a student population of 442 and is part of the South Bergen Jointure Commission School District, which is ranked 332 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bogota Junior/Senior High School stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly among Hispanic students, who make up 69.46% of the student body - a significantly higher percentage compared to nearby schools. The school outperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency for 8th and 9th grades, as well as Algebra I proficiency for 8th grade. Additionally, the school has consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 90.5% to 96.3% over the past five years, and very low dropout rates, significantly lower than the state average. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 6.7% in 2016-2017 to 17.1% in 2020-2021, which is an area of concern.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Hasbrouck Heights High School, Dwight Morrow High School/Academies@Englewood, and Hackensack High School, Bogota Junior/Senior High School generally performs better academically, particularly in ELA and Algebra I proficiency. However, it lags behind some of the higher-performing schools in the area, such as the Bergen County Academies and Bergen County Technical High School - Teterboro, which are among the top-ranked schools in the state.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
