Paramus Ranked Among The Top High Schools In NJ

PARAMUS, NJ — The high school was ranked among the top high schools in New Jersey by New Jersey Monthly magazine.

Paramus was ranked No. 67.

Paramus has a student-to-faculty ratio of 11:1 and 28 Advanced Placement subjects offered. Fifty-six percent of 11th- and 12th-graders are taking at least one Advanced Placement class. Thirty-eight percent of students who took an Advanced Placement exam scored at least a three on the test.

The vast majority of students, 69 and 88 percent, score at least 530 and 480 on the math and reading and writing sections of the SAT, respectively.

To arrive at the rankings, NJ Monthly looked at the state Department of Education's most recent New Jersey School Performance Reports. Only public high schools were included in the rankings. (You can read more about the methodology here.)

Topping the list was McNair in Jersey City, a magnet school. After that, you'll see a mix of schools that haven't always appeared at the top of these lists (Ramapo, Haddonfield, and West Morris Central).
