Summary

Bayonne High School is a public high school in Bayonne, New Jersey, serving 2,832 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Bayonne School District, which is ranked 386 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bayonne High School's academic performance is generally below the state average, particularly in mathematics. The school's proficiency rates on standardized tests like the NJSLA and NJGPA are lower than the state averages, with especially weak performance in Geometry and Algebra II. The school's ranking has declined over the past decade, dropping from 91 out of 406 New Jersey high schools in 2014-2015 to 338 out of 434 in 2024-2025. While Bayonne High School performs better than some nearby schools in the Newark and Jersey City districts, it lags behind the highly-ranked Infinity Institute in Jersey City.

Bayonne High School faces challenges with subgroup performance, chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic factors. The school's performance varies significantly across different student populations, with Asian, Hispanic, and White students, as well as English Language Learners and Special Education students, performing below the state average. Additionally, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, which may contribute to its academic struggles. The high proportion of economically disadvantaged students at Bayonne High School, with over 54% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may also play a role in the school's academic challenges.
