Summary:
The Park Ridge School District in New Jersey is home to one exceptional high school, Park Ridge High School. This standout institution ranks 45th out of 434 high schools in the state, placing it in the top 10% for the 2024-2025 school year.
Park Ridge High School has consistently maintained a 4 or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating its strong overall performance. The school boasts a high 4-year graduation rate of 91.3% and a low dropout rate of 1.0%, both of which surpass state averages. Academically, the school's students significantly outperform their peers across the state, with 86.4% of 9th graders proficient or better in ELA and 94.7% of 8th graders and 76.1% of 11th graders scoring proficient or better in math.
The school's favorable learning environment, with a low student-teacher ratio of 8.7 and higher-than-average per-student spending of $17,389, likely contributes to its exceptional academic outcomes. However, the relatively low percentage of students (5%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests the school serves a more affluent population, raising questions about equity and access for students from lower-income backgrounds.
