Summary:
South Hunterdon Regional School District has one high school, South Hunterdon Regional High School, serving grades 9–12 with 377 students. Its results offer a mixed picture: graduation is strong, but several test scores and attendance indicators call for attention. The most important academic concern is Algebra I End of Course, where proficiency was 10% compared with 40% statewide.
The school’s strongest state-relative test result was 2025–2026 NJGPA English Language Arts: 79% proficient versus 76% statewide, a 3-point advantage. Algebra I End of Course was the weakest comparison, with a 30-point shortfall; grade 9 Algebra I was also below the state, by 12 points. Other results were closer: grade 11 science was 3 points below the state, and NJGPA mathematics was 1 point below. Graduation is a notable bright spot: in 2024–2025, 96% of students graduated, 7 points above the state rate, while the dropout rate was 0% compared with 1% statewide. Chronic absenteeism was higher, at 18% versus 14% statewide.
Recent results are uneven rather than steadily improving: grade 9 English Language Arts rose by 7 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, and grade 9 Algebra I increased by 3 points, while grade 9 Geometry fell by 18 points and NJGPA mathematics declined by 5 points. The school’s End-of-Course results also dropped, including a 27-point decline in Geometry. SchoolDigger rates the district at 2 stars and ranks it 370th of 607 districts, in the 39th percentile. Other context includes a student–teacher ratio of 7.8 and 30% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; these are descriptive figures, not explanations for results. Because only one high school is listed, there is no school-to-school comparison.
