High Schools in Vineland Public School District

The Vineland Public School District in New Jersey is home to a single high school, Vineland Senior High School, which has consistently underperformed compared to other high schools in the state. Despite relatively high per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio, the school has struggled with low academic proficiency, high chronic absenteeism, and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing significantly below average.

Vineland Senior High School's performance has been in the bottom quartile of New Jersey high schools for the past three school years, with proficiency rates on state assessments that are significantly lower than the state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 20% of 9th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to a state average of 58.1%, and only 3.8% were proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to a state average of 22.9%.

The school's challenges extend beyond academic performance, with a four-year graduation rate slightly below the state average and a dropout rate slightly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% is notably higher than the state average, which may be contributing to the low academic outcomes. While the school serves a relatively low-need population, with a very low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the persistent underperformance suggests that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution to improving the school's performance.
