Ramapo-Indian Hills District Statistics Underwhelm

The U.S. News & World Report released their 2013 Best High Schools Rankings. Statistics gathered from Ramapo High School and Indian Hills High School were also released.

Neither school ranked in the top 100 in the nation or in the top 50 in the state. When compared to their neighbors in Ridgewood the Ramapo-Indian Hills School District presents numbers that can't help but underwhelm. 

Category  Indian Hills Ramapo Ridgewood Total Enrollment  1,181 1,145 1,668 Total Minority Enrollment 8% 10% 28% Studen/Teacher Ratio  13:1 11:1 15:1 Language Proficiency      Total Students Tested 283 241 402      Partially Proficient  3% 1% 4%      Proficient  58% 60% 56%      Advanced  40% 39% 41% Math Proficiency Distribution       Total Students Tested  283 241 402      Partially Proficient  13% 10% 6%      Proficient 48% 48% 39%      Advanced  39% 43% 56% Advaned Placement Performance      Participation Rate 35% 48% 68%      Participant Passing Rate 91% 89% 87% Disadvantaged Student Performance      Proficient  92.1% 94.7% 86.7%

Despite having more students and the highest student/teacher ratio of the three schools, the numbers from Ridgewood are undeniably stronger in certain areas. 68 percent of Ridgewood students are involved with the advanced placement program. That is 20 percent higher than Ramapo and more than 30 percent higher than Indian Hills.

Ridgewood is ranked 188 in the nation and 11 in the state. Ramapo and Indian Hills are not ranked in either category.
