Summary:
ZIP code 07876 has one high school, Roxbury High School, serving grades 9–12 with 1,179 students. Its 2024–25 graduation rate was 92%, compared with 89% statewide, and chronic absenteeism was 7%, versus 14% statewide. The clearest concern is that all eight reported 2025–26 test results were below the state result for the same test and grade.
Because Roxbury is the only school listed, there are no local schools to rank against one another. Its closest result to the state was 11th-grade NJGPA English Language Arts: 74% proficient, compared with 76% statewide, a 1-point gap. Its largest shortfall was Algebra I End of Course, with 10% proficient versus 40% statewide, a 30-point gap. The five reported math results averaged 19 points below the state, while the two English Language Arts results averaged 3 points below; these are simple averages across different tests and grades, not an overall score.
Results weakened across all eight test-and-grade comparisons from 2024–25 to 2025–26, with Geometry showing the sharpest change. Ninth-grade Geometry fell from 69% to 29%, while the state result moved from 55% to 50%; Roxbury went from 14 points above the state to 21 points below. SchoolDigger’s listing also declined, from rank 186 of 434 and 3 stars in 2024–25 to rank 286 of 434 and 2 stars in 2025–26. In 2024–25, the student-teacher ratio was 10.1, and 23% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. Algebra I and Geometry 10th-grade results for 2025–26 are suppressed, and no school-to-school comparison is possible.
