Summary

High Point Regional High School District is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Sussex, New Jersey, with a total enrollment of 803 students. The school district is ranked 365 out of 609 in New Jersey and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Academically, High Point Regional High School District has shown inconsistent performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 123 to 224 out of 434 New Jersey high schools. While the school performs well in some subject areas, such as 11th grade English Language Arts, it struggles in others, like Algebra I and Geometry, where it falls significantly below the state average. Compared to nearby schools like Sparta High School and Vernon Township High School, High Point Regional High School District generally performs in the middle to lower range.

The school's graduation and dropout rates are relatively strong, with a four-year graduation rate ranging from 91.1% to 96.8% and a dropout rate between 0.3% and 1.2%. However, the school has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (15.67% to 17.68%) compared to some nearby schools, such as Sparta High School (4.88%) and Kittatinny Regional High School (9.71%), which could be contributing to the school's relatively lower performance for the low socioeconomic status student subgroup. On a positive note, High Point Regional High School District has a lower student-teacher ratio than many of the surrounding schools, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention and support to its students.

The staff here don't want the students to do better than they did. I have seen evidence of this myself. I told the counselor I trusted at the time my future and they tried to shoot it down by saying it's too hard and expensive.. my future is moving out of the country. Close Quote

I used to go here. The Teachers do NOT challenge the students the value of hard work and how it would apply to the life you will lead. When you ask enough questions they will throw you into Special Education just because you're taking so much time away from the teachers students. The younger teachers themselves have a problem telling the difference between work and play, I probably spent the last year of High Point being BULLIED by the student body and it's staff. I would always be labeled as an aggressor when I was defending myself and depending on your family class whoever has the most money gets the final say. I would highly advise against sending your child here because if they really want to know the value of hard work and learn with level headed people I would either choose learn from home or send them to VoTech.

P.S They have an unusual amount of drug problems and the majority of the people I graduated with had to either serve in the armed forces or deal drugs, I chose labor work and have never been happier. Close Quote
