Summary:

South Hunterdon Regional High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Lambertville, New Jersey, with an enrollment of 417 students. The school is part of the South Hunterdon Regional School District, which is ranked 371 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, South Hunterdon Regional High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 154th to 286th out of New Jersey high schools. The school's performance on NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessments) tests is generally below the state averages, with lower proficiency rates in subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the state. When compared to nearby high-performing schools like Montgomery High School and Hopewell Valley Central High School, South Hunterdon Regional High School lags significantly in academic achievement, with proficiency rates around 14-28% in Algebra I, while the nearby schools have rates around 40-50%.

Despite these academic challenges, South Hunterdon Regional High School has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of around 90%, comparable to the nearby high-performing schools. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 16.6% to 20.1% in recent years, is a concern that may be contributing to the lower academic performance. The school's per-student spending of $13,989 in 2018-2019 is comparable to the nearby high-performing schools, but the school may need to focus on improving its curriculum, instructional practices, and support for students to enhance academic achievement, particularly for subgroups like female students, Hispanic students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

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.
