Ramapo High School

Summary:

Ramapo High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in the affluent community of Franklin Lakes, New Jersey. With a student population of 1,243, the school is part of the Ramapo Indian Hills Regional High School District, which is ranked 139 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Ramapo High School is a standout performer, consistently ranking among the top high schools in New Jersey at 119th out of 422 schools. The school boasts exceptional academic metrics, including a 99.1% four-year graduation rate and an extremely low 0.2% dropout rate, both significantly better than state averages. While the school's student body is predominantly white at 84.31%, its performance on standardized tests varies across different subgroups, with female and Hispanic students ranking higher than male and Asian students. In comparison, nearby schools like Glen Rock High School and Northern Highlands Regional High School also demonstrate strong academic performance.

Despite Ramapo High School's overall excellence, there are some areas that warrant further examination. The school's low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, just 1.61%, suggests a lack of socioeconomic diversity. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has fluctuated, increasing from 1.9% in 2020-2021 to 8.8% in 2021-2022, potentially due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. As parents consider educational options for their children, Ramapo High School's strong academic record and high-performing status make it a compelling choice, but the school's lack of diversity and recent attendance trends are factors to consider as well.

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.
