Wallkill Valley Regional High School is a four-year public high school and regional school district serving students in ninth through twelfth grades from four municipalities in Sussex County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The school is located in Hardyston Township, approximately 40 miles (64 km) northwest of New York City. The school is the lone facility of the Wallkill Valley Regional High School District.[4][5][6]

The district is comprised of four constituent municipalities: Franklin Borough, Hamburg Borough, Hardyston Township and Ogdensburg Borough.[7] Each of these communities supports its own independent K-8 elementary school district. There are 14,000 residents in the constituent districts, which cover an area of 42.9 square miles (111 km2).[8]

As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 615 students and 50.1 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.3:1. There were 78 students (12.7% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 10 (1.6% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[1]

The school has four assistant principals and 70 certified full and part-time faculty members, of whom 64% hold a master's degree.

The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "DE", the fifth-highest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.[9]
