Summary

Passaic County-Manchester Regional High School serves 803 students in grades 9–12 in Haledon, Passaic County, New Jersey. Its most serious challenge is low proficiency across tested subjects: in 2025–2026, results ranged from 4% in Algebra I End of Course to 53% in NJGPA ELA, and every reported result was below the state level. Algebra I End of Course had the largest gap, at 4% proficient compared with 40% statewide, a 36-point difference.

Grade 9 ELA is a relative bright spot among nearby schools, but the school still trails local and state results: 30% were proficient, higher than three of eight nearby schools with scores but below the nearby average of 37% and the state’s 51%. Other comparisons are weaker: Algebra I grade 9 proficiency was 4%, below six of eight nearby results and tied with Eastside High School. The school’s supplied district results match its own in the state comparisons, so it is at district level but below the state. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 77%, 12 points below the state’s 89%; among nearby schools reporting a rate, only Eastside was lower.

Results are moving in different directions: NJGPA math rose from 18% in 2023–2024 to 31% in 2025–2026, while NJGPA ELA fell from 68% to 53%; chronic absenteeism also improved, declining from 36% in 2021–2022 to 25% in 2024–2025, but remained 11 points above the state rate. SchoolDigger ranked the school 394th of 434 New Jersey schools in 2025–2026, at the 9th percentile with 0 stars; only two nearby ranked schools were lower. The student-teacher ratio was 12:1, close to the nearby median of 12.3:1, and 63% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, compared with a nearby median of 60%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for English Language Learner Students was at the 43rd percentile, a relative strength compared with the school’s 9th-percentile overall ranking. Its ranking for White Students fell from the 20th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 2nd percentile in 2025–2026.

Open Quote The schools in North Haledon have come a very long way. I think its unfair that other websites use reviews from 2003. I know many families that have children go to very prestigious schools after graduation. North Haledon is a wonderful town and the schools are just as good. Close Quote
