Summary

Lakeland Regional High School serves 823 students in grades 9–12 in Wanaque, New Jersey, and is part of the Lakeland Regional High School District. Compared with 10 nearby high schools, Lakeland is mid-sized, with enrollment close to nearby Mahwah High School’s 829 students. Its academic results vary by subject: grade 11 NJGPA results are strong, while grade 9 results are mixed. The clearest concern is science: 14% of 11th graders were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 29% statewide, and Lakeland had the lowest result among nearby schools.

Lakeland’s strongest comparison is grade 11 NJGPA English Language Arts, where 87% were proficient, above the state’s 76%; its 71% in NJGPA Mathematics also exceeded the state’s 61%. However, those math results were below the nearby-school average of 76%, and Algebra I proficiency was 22%, compared with 40% statewide and a nearby average of 30%. Grade 9 English Language Arts was essentially level with the state (51.2% versus 51.4%) but below the nearby average of 64%. Geometry was stronger than the state at 61% versus 50%, though below the nearby average of 66%. The test-score figures supplied for Lakeland match those for its district, so they do not show a separate school-versus-district difference.

Results have moved in different directions: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, grade 9 English Language Arts fell 17 points and Geometry fell 28 points, while NJGPA Mathematics rose 13 points. Science also declined 13 points over that period. SchoolDigger gives Lakeland a 58th statewide percentile and 3 stars for 2025–2026; its percentile is below the nearby average of 70, and its rank is 181 of 434. SchoolDigger’s percentile for Low Socio Economic Status Students rose from 27 in 2023–2024 to 53 in 2025–2026, while the overall percentile was 58. Lakeland’s student-teacher ratio is 11.0:1, and 15% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. Other notable positives are a 96% graduation rate and 4% chronic absenteeism in 2024–2025, compared with 14% statewide chronic absenteeism.
