Ridgefield Park Junior Senior High School

Summary:

Ridgefield Park Junior Senior High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Ridgefield Park, New Jersey, with a student population of 1,174. The school faces several challenges, including a significant racial imbalance, declining academic performance, increasing chronic absenteeism, and subgroup disparities.

Ridgefield Park Junior Senior High School has a much higher Hispanic student population (64.4%) compared to the state average (31.1%), which may have implications for the school's academic performance and resource allocation. The school's academic performance, as measured by NJSLA test scores, has been consistently below the state averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranged from 44.1% (7th grade) to 50.5% (9th grade), compared to the state averages of 55.7% and 52.1%, respectively. In mathematics, the school's proficiency rates were even lower, ranging from 10% (8th grade) to 28.1% (7th grade), compared to the state averages of 17.8% and 33.8%. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 10.3% in 2018-2019 to 25.9% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the state average of 16.9%.

Ridgefield Park Junior Senior High School's performance varies across different student subgroups, with African American students performing relatively well compared to their peers statewide, while Asian and White students are underperforming. This suggests the need for a more targeted approach to address the unique needs of different student populations. Compared to nearby high-performing schools like Fort Lee High School, Leonia High School, and the Bergen County Academies, Ridgefield Park Junior Senior High School's performance is generally lower, highlighting the need for the school to learn from the practices and strategies employed by these higher-performing institutions.

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.
