The school's performance on NJSLA/PARCC assessments is generally above the state average, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) where the school has outperformed the state by a significant margin in recent years. In mathematics, the school's performance is more mixed, with lower proficiency rates in Algebra I compared to the state average, but stronger performance in Geometry. The school's science proficiency rates are also above the state average, with 31.3% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in 2023-2024.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as South Hunterdon Regional High School, Phillipsburg High School, and Voorhees High School, Delaware Valley Regional High School generally performs on par or slightly better in terms of academic achievement, graduation rates, and student-teacher ratios. However, the school's performance lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Voorhees High School and Hunterdon Central Regional High School, which are ranked among the top 125 high schools in New Jersey. The school's spending per student of $19,558 in 2018-2019 is higher than the state average, which may contribute to its academic success, but the school's fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 6.5% to 18.1%, suggest that attendance and engagement may be an area of focus for the school.

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.
