Delran High School is a four-year comprehensive public high school serving students in ninth through twelfth grades from Delran Township in Burlington County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, operating as the lone secondary school of the Delran Township School District.

History

[edit]

Starting in 1954 and continuing into the 1970s, students from Delran Township attended Riverside High School as part of sending/receiving relationships, along with those from Delanco Township.[4]

To address overcrowding at Riverside High School, efforts to merge the three districts in Delanco, Delran and Riverside Townships into a combined regional K-12 system were rejected in a November 1971 referendum, with Delran Township voters in favor of the regionalization and the voters in the other two municipalities opposed.[5] The school, constructed at a cost of $6 million (equivalent to $34 million in 2023), opened for the 1975-76 school year with 864 students in grades 9-12.[6][7]

Expansions

[edit]

In 2008, a referendum was passed, which included $25.8 million in spending that included construction of a new science wing to the school as well as renovations to the existing building.[8]

In 2019, a new fab lab was constructed, replacing an old auto shop building.[9]

Demographics

[edit]

Awards, recognition and rankings

[edit]

The school was the 169th-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 339 schools statewide in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2014 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", using a new ranking methodology.[10] The school had been ranked 230th in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 179th in 2010 out of 322 schools listed.[11] The magazine ranked the school 155th in 2008 out of 316 schools.[12] The school was ranked 112th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.[13]

But their neighbors in more-settled Riverside and Delanco scotched the idea.... Delran undoubtedly will have to build a high school on its own, they said, and the other towns will have to build new elementary classrooms.

Delran, which had been sending high school students to Riverside, will open its own $6 million high school with 864 students in grades 9 through 12.... On the other hand, if it were entirely Delran's choice, assistant superintendent Anthony Casale thinks his district might have preferred to form a region with Riverside and Delanco. In 1971, the boards of education in the three towns approved and put to the voters a referendum for a regional school district. Delran passed the referendum, but the other two districts turned it down. Since Riverside High School, Delran's receiving district, was overcrowded, the only choice left was a new high school for Delran alone."
