Bordentown Regional High School

Summary:

Bordentown Regional High School is a public high school serving 763 students in grades 9-12 in Bordentown, New Jersey, which is part of the Hamilton Township Public School District. While the school maintains relatively high graduation rates, it faces several challenges, including lower academic performance, increasing chronic absenteeism, and a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

Bordentown Regional High School has a significantly higher percentage of White students (61.47%) compared to nearby schools like Trenton Central High School - Main Campus, which has only 0.93% White students. However, the school's test scores are generally lower than state averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (26.3%), Algebra I (20.3%), and Science (20%) all well below the state's performance. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has increased from 0.1% in 2017-2018 to 27.6% in 2020-2021, which is much higher than the state average.

Interestingly, Bordentown Regional High School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. Asian students perform exceptionally well, ranking 15th out of 165 New Jersey high schools in 2020-2021, while Hispanic and White students perform relatively poorly, ranking in the bottom quartile of the state. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from 211th out of 405 New Jersey high schools in 2020-2021 to 284th out of 422 in 2022-2023, suggesting that it is not keeping pace with improvements in other schools across the state. Compared to nearby schools like Northern Burlington County Regional High School and Allentown High School, Bordentown Regional High School's performance is generally lower.

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.
