Summary:
The 08904 zip code area in New Jersey is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Highland Park Boro School District. While the schools share some common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates, a few standout performers emerge from the data.
Highland Park High School stands out with a relatively high graduation rate of 92.1% and a low dropout rate of 0.4%. The school also outperforms the district and state averages in subjects like Algebra II and Science. Meanwhile, Highland Park Middle School excels in Algebra I and Geometry, with proficiency rates exceeding the district and state levels.
Across the district, the schools serve a diverse student population, with varying percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the schools generally perform below state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, the data suggests opportunities for improvement, particularly in addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates that range from 26.2% at the high school to 36.7% at Irving Primary School. The district may benefit from further investigation into the factors contributing to these challenges and developing targeted strategies to support student success.
