High Schools in Harrison Public Schools

The Harrison Public Schools district in New Jersey contains only one high school, Harrison High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently performed below the state average in academic achievement, with proficiency rates significantly lower than the state in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Harrison High School has a low statewide ranking, placing between 280-319 out of 422-434 New Jersey high schools in the past three school years, and has a 1-2 star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. The school's four-year graduation rate is 91.3%, slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 1.0% is lower than the state average. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% is higher than the state average.

The school faces significant challenges, including a high percentage of students (83.55%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's per-student spending is slightly higher than the state average, but its student-teacher ratio of 14.7 is also slightly higher than the state average. Addressing the school's low academic performance and attendance issues will likely require a comprehensive approach that addresses both the school-level and district-level factors contributing to the school's challenges.
