East Orange Campus High School is a comprehensive community public high school serving students in ninth through twelfth grades in the city of East Orange, in Essex County, New Jersey, United States, on the former campus of Upsala College. The school is part of the East Orange School District, classified as an Abbott District. The school has been accredited since 1928 by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools.
As of the 2014-15 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,632 students and 132.6 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.3:1. There were 1,092 students (66.9% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 84 (5.1% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch. The enrollment was 93.8% African American, 5.7% Hispanic, 0.3% Asian / Pacific Islander and 0.2% White.
The school was the 337th-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. The school had been ranked 318th in the state of 328 schools in 2012 , after being ranked 292nd in 2010 out of 322 schools listed. The magazine ranked the school 263rd in 2008 out of 316 schools. The school was ranked 286th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.
East Orange Campus High School was opened in 2002, resulting from the merging of the former Clifford Scott High School and East Orange High School. The school is located in the largest building of the refurbished campus of Upsala College and has been expanded to accommodate increased demand for enrollment. As a result of the merger, students now have access to new and much improved educational facilities. The former Clifford Scott High School facility was home to East Orange Campus Nine High School, the home for all 9th grade high school students in East Orange. Announced in November 2010, East Orange Campus Nine was updated to become East Orange STEM Academy, which will serve students from 9-12th graders.
