Roxbury High School

Summary:

Roxbury High School is a public high school located in Succasunna, New Jersey, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,192 students. The school is part of the Roxbury Township School District, which is ranked 365 out of 615 districts in New Jersey and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Roxbury High School has a more diverse student population compared to some nearby schools, with 63.59% White, 3.94% African American, 24.41% Hispanic, and 4.78% Asian students. Academically, the school's performance is mixed, ranking 169 out of 422 high schools in New Jersey with a 3-star rating. This places it in the middle range compared to top-performing nearby schools like West Morris Mendham High School and Academy for Mathematics Science and Engineering. However, Roxbury High School has maintained relatively high graduation rates, ranging from 92.1% to 95.1% over the past few years, and low dropout rates, ranging from 0.2% to 0.8%.

One area of concern for Roxbury High School is the increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.3% in 2016-2017 to 9.0% in 2020-2021, which is higher than the nearby top-performing schools. Additionally, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with African American and Asian students performing well, but female students, English Language Learners, and students with low socioeconomic status performing lower. To address these challenges, Roxbury High School could learn from the practices and strategies employed by the top-performing schools in the region and focus on supporting underperforming student subgroups and reducing chronic absenteeism.

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.

Open Quote I love Roxbury High School so much! The school has the fair share of bad kids like every other school, but other than that, everyone is extremely nice and cares about everyone else. The principal, Mr. Miller, is very involved in the student's lives. He walks around throughout the day and pops into classes and sits and watches for a little bit. He greets students at the door each morning along with a few other teachers. He is also extremely funny when he wants to be and strict when he needs to be. He gives so many kids nicknames and he is just an amazing guy overall. Close Quote

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.

Impact of COVID-19 on Roxbury High School
