Pope John XXIII Regional High School is a Roman Catholic high school in Sparta, in Sussex County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The school was founded in 1956, originally as Our Lady Of The Lake School[6] and is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Paterson.[7] The school name was changed to honor Pope John XXIII after his death in 1963. The school has been accredited by AdvancEd since 2010.[3]
As of the 2021–22 school year, the school had an enrollment of 691 students and 50.8 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.6:1. The school's student body was 87.0% (601) White, 5.4% (37) Black, 2.9% (20) Hispanic, 2.6% (18) Asian, 1.6% (11) two or more races, 0.4% (3) American Indian / Alaska Native and 0.1% (1) Native Hawaiian / Pacific Islander.[5]
In 2016, grades 5-7 at the Rev. George A. Brown Elementary School were moved into the newly built Pope John XXIII Middle School, which shares its campus with the high school. To do this the schools of Immaculate Conception Regional School (in Franklin), Saint Joseph's Regional School (in Newton) and Saint Michael's Regional School (in Netcong) were all closed and merged into Pope John Middle School.[8]

"Four Catholic elementary schools, three in Sussex County and the fourth in Netcong, are merging, and by the end of the next school year, students will be housed on a campus at Pope John XXIII Regional High School that will include a new Pope John Middle School, parents were told at a meeting Wednesday..... The plan announced at the meeting will keep the current elementary schools open for the start of the next school year, but, depending on a construction schedule for a new middle school on the Pope John campus, local schools will close and grades will be split, with pre-kindergarten through fourth grade housed at the Rev. Brown school and grades 5-7 combining into the new middle school.... With the opening of Pope John XXIII Middle School, three current elementary schools -- Immaculate Conception Regional School in Franklin, St. Joseph Regional School in Newton and St. Michael School in Netcong -- will close."
