Cresskill High School is a four-year comprehensive public high school that serves students in ninth through twelfth grades from Cresskill in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States, operating as the lone secondary school of the Cresskill Public Schools.
As of the 2014-15 school year, the school had an enrollment of 541 students and 56.4 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 9.6:1. There were 9 students (1.7% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 5 (0.9% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
Until October 1962, when the initial wing of Cresskill's high school, constructed at a cost of $2.8 million, was opened, Cresskill's students in grades seven to twelve had attended Tenafly High School. Students already in the Tenafly district for grades 11 and 12 when the Cresskill school opened remained at Tenafly High School until graduation, which meant that the first graduating class was the Class of 1965.
The school was the 18th-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 29th in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 55th in 2010 out of 322 schools listed. The magazine ranked the school 2008 out of 316 schools. The school was ranked 15th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which included 316 schools across the state. Schooldigger.com ranked the school 22nd out of 381 public high schools statewide in its 2011 rankings (an increase of 90 positions from the 2010 ranking) which were based on the combined percentage of students classified as proficient or above proficient on the mathematics (97.1%) and language arts literacy (99.3%) components of the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA).
