Saddle Brook Middle/High School

Summary:

Saddle Brook Middle/High School is a public school serving approximately 810 students in grades 7-12 in Saddle Brook, New Jersey, which is part of the Lodi School District. While the school has maintained a relatively stable academic profile, its performance is generally in the middle range compared to nearby schools like Fair Lawn High School and Hasbrouck Heights High School.

Saddle Brook Middle/High School has a higher percentage of White students (58.64%) compared to nearby schools, which tend to have more diverse student populations. The school's academic performance has been in the middle range of New Jersey high schools, ranking between 166 and 338 out of 400-416 schools over the past decade. While the school performs better for certain student subgroups, such as female and Hispanic students, its performance for White students and students with special needs is in the bottom half of the state. Additionally, the school has seen fluctuations in its chronic absenteeism rate, which is an area of concern.

Despite these challenges, Saddle Brook Middle/High School has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 90.3% to 97.3% over the past five years, and a low dropout rate. The school's spending per student ($12,160 in 2018-2019) is on the higher end compared to some of the nearby schools, which may contribute to its relatively stable academic performance. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 12.3 is lower than the nearby schools, which may also be a factor in its academic outcomes.

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.
