Summary:
The schools in the 07930 zip code area are a standout group, with four high-performing institutions serving students from elementary through high school. This includes West Morris Central High School, which ranks among the top high schools in New Jersey, and Black River Middle School, which is also an exceptional performer. The elementary schools, Dickerson Elementary and Bragg Elementary, also show strong academic results, particularly in math.
West Morris Central High School stands out with a 91.1% 4-year graduation rate, well above the state average, and a low 1.2% dropout rate. The school also ranks between 58-67 out of all New Jersey high schools and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Black River Middle School is equally impressive, ranking between 52-87 out of 743 middle schools statewide and achieving 100% proficiency in Algebra I and Geometry.
While the schools in this area generally perform very well, with strong test scores and low free/reduced lunch rates, there is one area that could use improvement - chronic absenteeism. All four schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.6% to 16.6%. Addressing attendance issues could help boost overall student achievement in this otherwise high-quality school district served by the West Morris Regional High School District and the Chester Township School District.
