Summary:
The Hazlet Township Public School District in New Jersey is home to a single high school, Raritan High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, it appears to be a relatively average high school in the state, with some areas of concern that may require further attention.
Raritan High School's statewide ranking has declined from 224 out of 429 high schools in 2023-2024 to 243 out of 434 high schools in 2024-2025, suggesting the school is struggling to keep up with the performance of other high schools in New Jersey. The school's academic performance, particularly on standardized tests, is generally below the state average, with only 41.2% of 9th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 17.5% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to state averages of 49.9% and 17.9%, respectively.
Additionally, Raritan High School has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%, which could be a contributing factor to the school's overall academic performance. The school's spending per student of $9,618 is also lower than the state average, which may impact the resources and support available to students and teachers. Despite these challenges, the school maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 91.3%, which is slightly above the state average, and a low dropout rate of 1.0%.
