Summary:
The Harrison Public Schools district in New Jersey has only one high school, Harrison High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The data shows that the school is facing some significant challenges in maintaining its academic performance and meeting the needs of its student population.
Harrison High School has a statewide ranking of 272 out of 426 New Jersey high schools for the 2023-2024 school year, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's ranking has declined over the past three years, and its proficiency rates in Algebra I and Science are significantly lower than the state averages. However, the school's performance in English Language Arts is better than the state average. The school also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and an elevated chronic absenteeism rate, which may be contributing factors to its academic challenges.
Overall, the data suggests that Harrison High School is facing some significant challenges in maintaining its academic performance and meeting the needs of its student population. The school's declining statewide ranking, uneven academic performance, and high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism are all areas that the district and school leadership should closely examine and address to improve student outcomes.
