Amity Regional High School stands out as a consistently high-achieving school.

Its graduation rate of 96.3% exceeds the state average of 91.2%, and chronic absenteeism is remarkably low at just 6.1% compared to the state's 16.4%. The school also scores well above state averages in all tested subjects: 78.6% proficiency in English Language Arts (state 55.3%), 54.8% in Math (state 31.3%), and 68.3% in Science (state 50.5%). Math remains the relative weakness, but it improved by 2 points this year, while Science rose by 4.1 points.

For parents, this is a well-resourced and academically strong school with a highly engaged student body. The low chronic absenteeism rate suggests students are consistently in class, which likely supports both the strong test scores and high graduation rate. While ELA proficiency dipped slightly this year, the overall upward trend in state rankings indicates the school is not just resting on its laurels. With about 16.8% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the student population is relatively economically advantaged, and the school faces fewer poverty-related barriers than many others. The main opportunity for growth is math proficiency, which is still well above the state average but lags behind the school's own stellar ELA and Science results. Overall, Amity Regional High School is a standout choice, delivering strong academics, high attendance, and continuous improvement year after year.
