Dumont Public School District

The Dumont Public School District in New Jersey consists of 5 schools, including 4 elementary/middle schools and 1 high school, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The district generally outperforms the state average on academic assessments, with several standout schools that have consistently ranked among the top schools in New Jersey.

Dumont High School is a standout, ranking in the top 25% of high schools in the state with a 4-star rating and impressive 91.1% 4-year graduation rate. At the elementary/middle school level, Honiss Elementary/Middle School and Grant Elementary School have also consistently ranked in the top 25-30% of New Jersey schools, with strong performance in math and English Language Arts, respectively.

While the district excels in English Language Arts, with several schools outperforming the state average, math performance is more mixed. Additionally, the district faces challenges with a high 16.6% chronic absenteeism rate across all schools, an area that requires attention. The variation in per-student spending, from $7,760 to $10,719, also suggests the need to examine funding allocation to ensure equitable resources across all schools in the Dumont Public School District.
