Summary

Maple Shade High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in the Maple Shade School District in New Jersey. With 946 students, the school is ranked 280 out of 434 New Jersey high schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school district as a whole is ranked 537 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 1-star rating.

Maple Shade High School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance. The school consistently underperforms the state average on standardized tests, with only 24.6% of 7th graders proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 57%, and only 18.6% proficient in Math compared to 38.8% statewide. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 14.9% to 20.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's 4-year graduation rate of around 90% is slightly below the state average.

Compared to nearby high-performing schools such as Haddonfield Memorial High School, Moorestown High School, and Cinnaminson High School, Maple Shade High School's performance is significantly worse. The school's declining performance over the past several years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 193 out of 406 high schools in 2014-2015 to 280 out of 434 in 2024-2025, suggests the need for a comprehensive review and improvement plan to address these issues and better support the success of all students.
