Summary:
Carlstadt-East Rutherford Regional High School District has one school, Henry P. Becton Regional High School, serving grades 9–12 with 853 students and a 14:1 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025. There is no choice between local schools to compare, so the clearest picture comes from the school’s results against state figures: graduation and attendance measures are favorable, while test results are mixed. The most notable academic concern is Algebra I End of Course, where the school was 16 points below the state in 2025–2026.
Henry P. Becton Regional High School is both the area’s highest- and lowest-performing school by default, since it is the only one. Its strongest state comparison was grade 11 NJGPA ELA: 82% met the measure, compared with 76% statewide, a 6-point advantage. By contrast, Algebra I End of Course was 24% versus 40% statewide, 16 points below. Other below-state results included Geometry End of Course, at 44% versus 52%, and grade 11 Science, at 22% versus 29%. Completion and attendance look stronger: the graduation rate was 93% versus 89% statewide, while chronic absenteeism was 8% versus 14%.
Results over time show a mixed but generally weaker position against the state on several repeated tests. Grade 9 NJSLA ELA shifted from 8 points above the state in 2024–2025 to 5 points below in 2025–2026, a 13-point deterioration in the gap; the Algebra I End of Course gap widened from 12 to 16 points below. There were exceptions: the school’s Geometry End of Course gap narrowed from 11 to 8 points below, even as its score edged down, because the state result also fell. SchoolDigger’s ranking also declined, from the 61st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 44th percentile in 2025–2026. As context, 41% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; this figure does not explain the results. There is only one school, so local school-to-school differences cannot be assessed, and the state suppressed the 2025–2026 grade 10 Geometry score.
