Summary

Parsippany High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Parsippany, New Jersey, part of the Parsippany-Troy Hills Township School District. With an enrollment of 937 students and a student-teacher ratio of 9.8, the school has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking as high as 63rd out of 411 New Jersey high schools in the 2016-2017 school year.

Parsippany High School's academic performance is strong, with students consistently outperforming state averages on standardized tests, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's proficiency rates in advanced math subjects like Algebra II and Geometry are notably higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate ranges from 91.1% to 95.6%, on par with or exceeding the district and state averages, and its dropout rates are low, ranging from 0.2% to 1.2%.

While Parsippany High School's performance is generally on par with or exceeds that of its nearby counterparts, such as Parsippany Hills High School and Hanover Park High School, the school lags behind the highly-ranked Mountain Lakes High School and Montville Township High School in certain academic metrics, particularly in advanced math subjects and overall state rankings. Additionally, the school has experienced fluctuations in its chronic absenteeism rates, an area of concern that the school will need to address to sustain its high level of academic excellence.
