High Schools in Linden Public School District


Summary:

The Linden Public School District in New Jersey has only one high school, Linden High School, which serves grades 9-12. Based on the available data, Linden High School appears to be a struggling school, ranking 356 out of 426 New Jersey high schools and earning a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Linden High School's academic performance is significantly below the state average on standardized tests across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 39.6% of 9th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the statewide average of 58.1%. In Algebra I, the proficiency rates were even lower, with 0% of 10th-grade students and just 7.5% of 9th-grade students scoring proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 15.7% and 22.9%, respectively.

Other key metrics also suggest challenges at Linden High School. The school's four-year graduation rate is 91.1%, which is lower than the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% is higher than desired. Additionally, over 54% of Linden High School students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a socioeconomically disadvantaged student population. While the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.8 students per teacher could be a positive factor, it does not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes for the students.
