The North Hunterdon-Voorhees Regional High School District in New Jersey is home to two high-performing high schools: North Hunterdon High School and Voorhees High School. Both schools have consistently maintained strong rankings within the state, with Voorhees High School ranking 55th and North Hunterdon High School ranking 121st out of 422 New Jersey high schools in the 2022-2023 school year.
Academically, both schools excel, with North Hunterdon High School outperforming the state average in English Language Arts and Geometry proficiency, and Voorhees High School significantly outperforming the state average in English Language Arts proficiency. However, both schools struggle with Algebra I proficiency, an area that the district may want to address.

Despite Voorhees High School spending significantly more per student than North Hunterdon High School, the two schools have similar academic outcomes and graduation rates, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as teaching quality and school culture, may play a more significant role in student success. Additionally, Voorhees High School has a higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to North Hunterdon High School, which is an area of concern that the district may want to investigate further and address.
