Original Research by School Decision on Randolph High School
Randolph High School is the single comprehensive high school for the Randolph Township School District, serving students in ninth through twelfth grades as a regular public school in Morris County, New Jersey. The school enrolls a large student body, reflecting the size of the township it serves. The student population is predominantly white, with a substantial Hispanic presence and a meaningful Asian share; Black students and students identifying as two or more races make up smaller portions. A modest share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a figure that points to a relatively low level of economic disadvantage in the community. Data on students with disabilities and English learners were not reported in the available records.
State assessment results for Randolph High School were not available in the dataset, and no graduation rate was reported. The same is true for chronic absenteeism data. These gaps mean that a family looking at standard academic performance metrics will not find them here in the usual form. The school is a regular high school serving the typical age range, so these measures would ordinarily be expected; their absence appears to be a data-reporting gap rather than a reflection of the school’s type. Parents and residents may wish to contact the district or school directly for current testing outcomes and graduation rates.
Randolph itself is a twenty-one-square-mile township designated as half rural, half suburban by the state planning commission, and it functions as a residential suburb of New York City. The built environment is low-density and car-dependent, with commercial activity concentrated along the Route 10 corridor and neighborhoods spread across sections such as Center Grove, Fernbrook, Ironia, Mount Freedom, and Shongum. There is no traditional downtown core; civic life centers on the municipal campus on Millbrook Avenue, and the district’s six schools—four elementary schools, a middle school, and this high school—are distributed across the township rather than clustered. The County College of Morris occupies a large campus in the northern part of town and serves as a significant institutional employer alongside the municipal government.
The housing market in the area commands premium prices. Home values sit well above national and state medians, and rents are high. The county market has seen an increase in active listings recently, though the median listing price remains elevated, and homes move quickly. Affordability is a real consideration; the estimated monthly mortgage and rent-to-income ratio suggest that only households with above-average incomes can comfortably buy or rent here. Population growth has been modest and appears to have plateaued in recent years. The township has received recognition in rankings for suburbs, citing factors like job growth, home ownership, and community safety.
The district itself did not surface any notable recent changes in publicly available reports, so the picture of stability that emerges from the community context carries over to the school system.
For a family considering Randolph High School, the most immediate takeaway is that standard academic indicators are not present in this data. The school operates within an affluent, suburban setting with a large student body and a relatively low share of students in poverty. The community is expensive and car-oriented, with a dispersed layout and no walkable center. The school likely offers a full range of high school programs given its size and type, but specific offerings such as Advanced Placement courses, career pathways, or extracurriculars were not detailed in the available information. A parent would want to follow up with the school directly to fill in the many gaps left by the missing data on achievement, graduation, and student support services.
