Summary:

The Cliffside Park School District in New Jersey contains a single high school, Cliffside Park High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with a statewide ranking ranging from 294 out of 434 high schools in 2024-2025 to 312 out of 422 high schools in 2022-2023.

Cliffside Park High School's four-year graduation rate of 91.3% for the 2023-2024 school year is slightly above the state average, and its dropout rate of 1.0% is relatively low. However, the school's proficiency rates in NJSLA/English Language Arts, NJSLA/Algebra I, and NJSLA-S/Science are lower than the state averages, indicating academic performance challenges in these core subject areas. The school's proficiency rates in NJSLA/Algebra II are higher than the state average, suggesting stronger performance in advanced mathematics courses.

The school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 57.83% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the academic performance challenges observed and should be considered when developing strategies to support student success. Despite these challenges, Cliffside Park High School's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.5 for the 2023-2024 school year could be leveraged to provide more personalized support and interventions for students.
