Northern Valley Regional High School District

What Northern Valley Regional High School District does

Northern Valley Regional High School District (NVRHSD) is a public regional high school district organized under New Jersey state law, serving students in grades 9-12 across seven constituent municipalities in Bergen County, New Jersey: Demarest, Closter, and Haworth (assigned to Northern Valley Regional High School at Demarest, or NVD) and Old Tappan, Harrington Park, Norwood, and Northvale (assigned to Northern Valley Regional High School at Old Tappan, or NVOT). The district also operates Northern Valley Central / Regional Programs / Summit (NVC/VRP/SUMMIT) in Norwood, providing special education and regional programs to eligible students district-wide. The core product is comprehensive public secondary education delivered at no tuition cost to resident students, supplemented by seven Career and Technical Education pathways (including Engineering, Computer Science, and Biomedical Technology) and a recently launched Early College Degree Program with Bergen Community College enabling eligible students to earn an Associate of Science in Professional Studies concurrently with their high school diploma.

The district's technology platform is anchored by an Apple Distinguished Schools designation (2022-2025) covering both high schools, built on a 1:1 MacBook Air deployment for all students and faculty, iPad devices supporting hybrid and online learning with wireless whiteboarding, and a third-party Genesis Student Information System for staff, parent, and student portals. Core operating infrastructure includes three physical campuses, district-wide email and parent communications, mobile applications on iOS and Android, and PaySchools Central for online fee payments. The district holds a WCAG 2.0 Level AA accessibility certification for its web properties and is recognized by Niche (Best Schools 2025) and U.S. News & World Report (Best High Schools).

The business model is government funding: the district is a state entity financed primarily through local property taxes levied across its seven constituent municipalities, supplemented by New Jersey state aid, federal grants, and competitive state grants (including the 2024 NJDOE Expanding Computer Science High School Courses and Teacher Culture Climate Innovation grants). Ancillary revenue streams include summer school tuition ($250 for NVRHS residents, $500 for out-of-district students per 60-hour Personal Financial Literacy course) and marginal non-resident tuition for the 2026-2027 school year. The district is governed by an elected Board of Education and administered by Superintendent James Santana, with no private shareholders, parent company, or venture capital ownership structure.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Bergen County Academies: Bergen County magnet STEM-focused public high school that competes for the same academically oriented students who would otherwise attend NVRHSD or peer districts; relevant as a direct competitor for top-performing Bergen County families.

Regional players

• Glen Rock Public Schools: Nearby Bergen County K-12 public district with comparable high-performing suburban profile and NJ public funding structure, useful as a peer for benchmarking outcomes and reputation in the same county.
• Tenafly Public Schools: Adjacent Bergen County K-12 public district serving Tenafly with a single high school, comparable suburban demographic profile and public funding model but smaller and K-12 integrated rather than regional HS only.

Others

• Livingston Public Schools: Essex County NJ public K-12 district of similar standing with strong academic outcomes and recognizable district branding; a useful out-of-region benchmark for NVRHSD's college-prep, CTE, and tech-integration programming.
• Montclair Public Schools: Larger NJ public K-12 district serving a different (Essex County) geography; comparable as a high-performing NJ public district that combines strong K-12, magnet-style programs, and Apple/tech integration similar to NVRHSD's profile.

Direct peers

• Pascack Valley Regional High School District: Neighboring Bergen County regional high school district serving grades 9-12 across multiple municipalities with comparable size, suburban demographics, public funding model, and extracurricular/athletic focus.
• River Dell Regional School District: Small Bergen County regional HS district covering Oradell and River Edge with two high schools under one superintendent, directly comparable to NVRHSD on size, NJ funding model, and two-campus structure.
• Ramapo Indian Hills Regional High School District: Adjacent Bergen County regional HS district operating two campuses (Ramapo and Indian Hills) for grades 9-12 across several municipalities, sharing the same NJ public funding structure and two-campus operating model as NVRHSD.
• Westwood Regional School District: Single-campus regional HS district in Bergen County serving grades 9-12 from Westwood and Washington Township, comparable on geography, demographic profile, and NJ public-funding operating model.

Broad incumbents

• Ridgewood Public Schools: Larger Bergen County K-12 district operating multiple elementary, middle, and the Ridgewood High School campus, comparable as a high-performing suburban NJ public district but at greater scale and broader scope than NVRHSD.
