Summary

Glassboro High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Glassboro, New Jersey, with an enrollment of 539 students. The school is part of the Glassboro School District, which is ranked 551 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Glassboro High School consistently ranks in the bottom third of New Jersey high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years. Its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. The school struggles to support the academic achievement of its diverse student population, ranking particularly low for African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, as well as students with special needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Glassboro High School has a 4-year graduation rate around 90%, which is slightly below the state average, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9-19.3%, which is higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as Deptford Township High School, Gateway Regional High School, and Williamstown High School, Glassboro High School performs worse academically. However, one notable exception is the Gloucester County Institute of Technology, a vocational-technical high school that significantly outperforms Glassboro High School and most other nearby schools in academic achievement, particularly in math and science. The higher percentage of students from low-income families at Glassboro High School may contribute to its lower academic performance compared to nearby schools with lower free/reduced-price lunch rates, and the Glassboro School District's low ranking and 0-star rating suggest that the district may be underfunded or lacking in resources compared to higher-performing districts.
