Summary:
The city of Runnemede, New Jersey has only one high school, Triton Regional High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance data suggests it is facing several challenges, including declining academic achievement and student engagement issues.
Triton Regional High School has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 91.3% and a low dropout rate of 1.0%, indicating that the school is generally successful in supporting students through to graduation. However, the school's test scores on the NJSLA/NJGPA assessments are consistently below state and district averages across various subject areas and grade levels, particularly in mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, only 38.3% of 9th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 49.9% statewide, and the school's Algebra I proficiency rates were as low as 0% for 10th grade and 8.2% for the end-of-course exam.
Additionally, Triton Regional High School has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%, which may be contributing to the low academic performance. The school also serves a student population where over a third (35.73%) are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the challenges the school is facing. Overall, the data indicates that Triton Regional High School is an area of concern and may require targeted interventions and resource allocation to address the declining performance and student engagement issues.
