Back in Session
This school year just feels different. After two years of juggling learning with the pandemic, students are entering into the fall with a fresh start and a more familiar scholastic experience. Sure, there are bound to still be some bumps in the road ahead, but as the restrictions brought on by COVID continue to lessen things are returning to normal.
To help get ready for the year ahead, we are taking our annual look at how South Jersey’s public high schools measure up in several key academic areas using information gleaned from the New Jersey Department of Education. Focusing on the tri-county region, we gathered vital data in key areas like average SAT scores, graduation rates, AP classes and student-to-faculty ratio.
What’s more, we spoke a few local administrators to see how they are using the lessons learned during the pandemic to enhance the high school experience for students and give staff the support they need to lead South Jersey’s bright young minds. Faced with COVID’s lingering effects and a teacher shortage, our area schools are meeting the challenges head-on and fostering environments that allow students to thrive and reach their full potential.
