Summary:
ZIP code 07031 has one high school, North Arlington High School, serving grades 9–12 with 634 students. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 95%, compared with 89% statewide, and chronic absenteeism was 6%, versus 14% statewide. But its latest test results show notable weaknesses in Geometry and science. The most important takeaway is that strong completion and attendance measures sit alongside below-state results in several tested areas.
With only one school in the ZIP code, there is no local school-to-school leader or bottom; the clearest comparisons are with the state. North Arlington High School stands out positively for graduation, 6 points above the state, and chronic absenteeism, 8 points below it; its dropout rate was also lower, at 0% versus 1% statewide. In 2025–2026, its largest test gaps were in Geometry End of Course (35% versus 52%, 17 points lower) and 11th-grade science (19% versus 29%, 9 points lower). Results were not low across the board: Algebra I for 9th and 10th graders and both 11th-grade NJGPA subjects were slightly above state results.
Most matched test results declined from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: seven of nine fell, including Geometry End of Course by 20 points and 9th-grade Geometry by 21 points. The exception to the broader pattern was NJGPA math, which rose 5 points and moved from below to slightly above the state. SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 48th percentile, 224 of 434, in 2025–2026, down from the 62nd percentile, 167 of 434, the year before. The school had a 13.7 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025; 36% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. These figures describe the school’s context, but the single-school list cannot show how they compare with nearby schools.
