Summary

Northern Burlington County Regional High School is a public high school in Columbus, New Jersey, serving 1,381 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Northern Burlington County Regional School District, which is ranked 210 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, the school has consistently ranked in the top half of New Jersey high schools over the past decade, though its performance on state assessments is mixed. While the school's 11th-grade NJGPA (New Jersey Graduation Proficiency Assessment) scores are strong, with 87.9% proficient in English Language Arts and 73.3% proficient in Mathematics, its overall proficiency rates in these subjects tend to be below the state averages. However, the school performs better in subjects like Geometry and Science. Notably, the school does well for certain student subgroups, such as African American students and English Language Learners, ranking in the top half or top third of New Jersey high schools for these groups.

Compared to nearby schools, Allentown High School and Bordentown Regional High School have higher rankings and stronger academic performance than Northern Burlington County Regional High School. However, the school generally outperforms Pemberton Township High School and Florence Township Memorial High School. The school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 14.9% to 20.1% over the past few years, is an area of concern that could impact student learning and outcomes.
