Summary

International High School is a public high school located in Paterson, New Jersey, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 662 students. The school is part of the Paterson Public School District, which is ranked 561 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

International High School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New Jersey high schools, with academic performance significantly below the state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 33.9% of 9th graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 49.9% statewide and 10.9% in the Paterson district. In mathematics, the proficiency rates are even lower, with only 19.8% of 9th graders proficient in Algebra I and 12.2% proficient in Geometry, compared to state averages of 20.3% and 55.3%, respectively. The school's four-year graduation rate of 91.3% is on par with the state average, but its dropout rate of 1.0% is higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the Passaic County Technical Institute STEM Academy and Passaic County Technical Institute, which are outside the Paterson district, significantly outperform International High School and the other Paterson schools on state assessments, with proficiency rates often exceeding 70-80% in core subjects. Despite the district's low ranking and the school's poor academic performance, International High School's per-student spending of $10,505 is on par with the state average, suggesting that funding alone may not be the primary driver of the school's challenges.
