Maple Shade High School

Maple Shade High School serves grades 7–12 and enrolls 944 students in Maple Shade, New Jersey. Its 2025–26 results are mixed: most are below state averages, but Geometry and eighth-grade Algebra I stand out. The central takeaway is that these strengths are exceptions to generally weaker performance, especially in English language arts.

The school’s reported test results match those of the Maple Shade School District, but matching district results does not mean they match the state. Grade 8 ELA proficiency was 25%, compared with 53% statewide, a 28-point gap; Geometry end-of-course proficiency was 58%, 6 points above the state’s 52%. Eighth-grade Algebra I was another bright spot: 90% were proficient, versus 75% statewide. By contrast, grade 8 general math was 10%, 13 points below the state. Locally, Maple Shade’s grade 9 ELA result was below most nearby schools with reported scores; its SchoolDigger ranking was higher only than Eastside High School and Pennsauken High School among the 10 nearby schools with rankings.

Results have shifted rather than improved consistently. Geometry end-of-course proficiency rose from 32% in 2022–23 to 58% in 2025–26, moving from 19 points below the state to 6 points above; grade 9 ELA fell from 43% to 30%. SchoolDigger ranks Maple Shade 313th of 434 schools, at the 28th percentile with a 1-star rating—down from the 35th percentile the prior year. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 11.1, and 53% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking of how well it serves African American students dropped from the 59th percentile in 2024–25 to the 27th in 2025–26.
