Cumberland Regional High School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New Jersey high schools, with performance on state assessments significantly below the state average. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 18.7% of 9th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 58.1%. The school's performance is also lower than nearby schools, such as Salem County Career and Technical High School, Woodstown High School, and Cumberland County Technical Education Center.

Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American, Hispanic, and economically disadvantaged students performing significantly below the state average. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 16.6% to 19.7% in recent years, may also be contributing to the school's overall academic challenges.

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.

Open Quote CRHS is a school with some of the most amazing and memorable teachers I have ever had. This was all ruined by the administration. Fights were handled poorly, students misbehaved in obscene ways such as defecating on the floor of the halls in one particular incident. Perhaps the wort feature was the way administration treats mental illness such as anxiety, depression, and the like. The words "get over it" ring through the halls; said words do nothing for the afflicted but make them feel worse about themselves. Students with mental illnesses or social disorders will not find comfort in CRHS' home school program either, due to the administrations incompetency when it comes to handling paperwork. Likewise, there are a select few teachers who get frustrated over home schooled students, which is irrevocably awful. I repeat, CRHS is not a safe place for teenagers with mental illness such as anxiety, depression, and those related. Close Quote

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.
