Hackensack High School is a four-year comprehensive public high school located in Hackensack, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, operating as part of the Hackensack Public Schools. Hackensack High School serves students from the Bergen County, New Jersey, communities of Hackensack, South Hackensack (80 students in 2011–12), Rochelle Park (120 students).[3][4] In March 2020, the Maywood Public Schools received approval from the New Jersey Department of Education to end the relationship it had established with Hackensack in 1969 and began transitioning incoming ninth graders to Henry P. Becton Regional High School starting with the 2020–21 school year.[5]
As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,745 students and 137.3 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.7:1. There were 655 students (37.5% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 160 (9.2% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[1]
