Summary

Dumont High School is a Bergen County high school serving grades 9–12, with 704 students. Its 2025–2026 results are generally above New Jersey averages, but the standout concern is Algebra I end-of-course proficiency: 34%, below the state’s 40% and the Dumont Public School District’s 53%.

Compared with nearby schools, Dumont’s results are mixed: grade 9 ELA was 60% versus a nearby-school average of 69%, while Geometry end-of-course was 63% versus 69%, and grade 11 science was 34% versus 45%. Its strongest local comparison is NJGPA ELA, at 84% compared with a nearby average of 79%; that average includes just three nearby schools. Dumont is above the state in most supplied tests, including Algebra I grade 9 (34% versus 22%) and Geometry end-of-course (63% versus 52%), but matches the district on most reported tests and trails it by 19 points in Algebra I end-of-course.

Some results have weakened: grade 9 ELA fell 11 points, from 71% in 2022–2023 to 60% in 2025–2026, and its lead over the state narrowed from 19 points to 9. Science improved by 2 points over that period. SchoolDigger places Dumont at the 71st percentile, with 4 stars and a rank of 126 out of 434; its percentile was 90 in 2015–2016. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for how well it serves White students is 50, compared with 71 overall; for Special Education Students, it is 62, down from 83 two years earlier. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 10.8, and 17% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a 22% average among nearby schools reporting that measure.
