North Bergen High School
North Bergen High School is a four-year comprehensive public high school, serving students in ninth through twelfth grade from North Bergen, in Hudson County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, operating as part of the North Bergen School District. The school is the district's only high school, and its student body includes residents of both North Bergen and Guttenberg. The school offers various clubs and activities, academic programs, and sports. In 2019, the school play attracted national attention, while the athletics department holds several state titles in multiple sports.
Students from Guttenberg attend the school as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Guttenberg Public School District.
As of the 2023–24 school year, the school had an enrollment of 2,384 students and 156.8 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 15.2:1. There were 1,396 students (58.6% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 209 (8.8% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
Before the school opened, students from North Bergen had been sent to attend Cliffside Park High School as part of a sending/receiving relationship.
The high school opened in September 1961 with Joe Coviello as its first principal and football coach. In the program's first football game, the team defeated St. Cecilia High School by a score of 14-0.
In terms of state aid, North Bergen High School was the most underfunded school in New Jersey, according to a 2014 report from the Education Law Center, receiving $24 million less than the school would be entitled to if it were fully funded under the formula specified by the School Funding Reform Act.
In 2019, the school's production of Alien went viral due to its realistic set and costumes made from recycled materials under a low, self-funded budget. The screenplay was adapted by an English teacher, who also served as director, while an art teacher directed the set and costuming and a music teacher added knowledge of stage lighting. Images and videos from the performances attracted celebrity attention including that of Sigourney Weaver, who played the protagonist of the original film. Ridley Scott's production company, Scott Free, donated $5000 to allow the school to perform an encore. Weaver visited the cast and crew for their encore performance on April 26, 2019. The New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts gave scholarships to all students involved.
The school provides Advanced Placement course work and exams. The AP participation rate is 9%.
