Summary

Secaucus High School serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 612 students in Secaucus, New Jersey, a Hudson County community. Its results vary by subject: Geometry proficiency is a standout, but Algebra I end-of-course proficiency is the clearest concern, at 29% compared with 40% statewide and 43% in the Secaucus School District.

Geometry is the school’s strongest comparison: proficiency was 88% in grade 9 and 79% end-of-course, versus 50% and 52% statewide; Secaucus ranked second among nearby schools with reported results in both. Grade 11 NJGPA mathematics was also strong at 67%, six points above the state and third among 10 nearby schools with scores. Algebra I is more mixed: ninth-grade proficiency was 29%, above the state’s 22% and fourth among 11 nearby schools, but below the nearby-school average; end-of-course proficiency ranked sixth of 11. Grade 9 English was 56%, five points above the state but fifth among nearby schools. Graduation is a positive counterpoint: the 2024–25 rate was 97%, versus 89% statewide and 97% in the district.

Several results improved over time, but progress has not been consistent: grade 9 English rose 15 points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, while Algebra I end-of-course rose 12 points and remains below state and district results. Grade 11 NJGPA English fell 13 points from 2023–24 to 2025–26. SchoolDigger rates the school at the 60th statewide percentile, 172nd of 434 schools, with three stars; its percentile rose from 47 in 2024–25 after standing at 60 in 2023–24. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 10.7, the second-lowest among nearby schools reporting a ratio. Free/reduced lunch eligible students made up 42% in 2024–25, below the nearby-school average of 54%. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness rankings place White Students at the 21st percentile and Special Education Students at the 19th, compared with 60 overall; the Special Education ranking fell from the 51st percentile in 2024–25.
