Pompton Lakes High School
Pompton Lakes High School (PLHS) is a four-year comprehensive public high school in the borough of Pompton Lakes in Passaic County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, operating as the lone secondary school of the Pompton Lakes School District. The school serves students in ninth through twelfth grades from Pompton Lakes and Riverdale, in neighboring Morris County, whose students attend as part of a sending/receiving relationship. The high school is accredited by the New Jersey Department of Education.
As of the 2024–25 school year, the school had an enrollment of 610 students and 52.3 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.7:1. There were 116 students (19.0% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 36 (5.9% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
The school mascot is the Cardinal.
Built in 1932 in Colonial Revival style, a product of the New Deal Era, the high school opened to students in September of that year and graduated its first class the following June. Students from Pompton Lakes attended Butler High School before the opening of Pompton Lakes High School. At its opening in 1933, the school received students from Wayne, Oakland, and Midland Park as well as Pompton Lakes. Since then, the school has maintained much of its original structure, with additions of a larger library, another locker room, and an entirely new wing erected in the 1960s.
Students from Wayne had attended the school until 1952, when Wayne Valley High School was opened. Oakland joined Franklin Lakes and Wyckoff in creating a regional school district in 1954 with students starting to attend Ramapo High School for the 1956–57 school year.
Midland Park's withdrawal was forced by Pompton Lakes. Those by Wayne and Oakland were voluntary; Wayne's was to accommodate the growth of the towns in the 1950s while Ramsey led to Oakland's. Pompton Lakes mandated Midland Park to leave after the end of the 1956-57 school year; this led Midland Park to open their high school.
Riverdale began their efforts to send their high school students to the school as early as 1975, and they started to attend in 1991, after the Riverdale district ended their sending/receiving relationship with the Kinnelon Public Schools, under which they had sent their high school students to Kinnelon High School; a far lower cost per student at Pompton Lakes and proximity were the main reasons for the change. Riverdale accounted for 114 of the 560 students attending the high school in 1995, nearly 20% of enrollment at the school.
During the 1986-87 school year, Pompton Lakes High School was awarded the Blue Ribbon School Award of Excellence by the United States Department of Education, the highest award an American school can receive.
