Henry P. Becton Regional High School ("Becton") is an American four-year comprehensive public high school serving students in ninth through twelfth grades from both Carlstadt and East Rutherford, two relatively small communities in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States, operating as part of the Carlstadt-East Rutherford Regional School District. The school was named in honor of Henry P. Becton, son of Becton Dickinson co-founder Maxwell Becton, who donated part of the company's original East Rutherford property to be used as a site for the construction of the school. Becton Regional High School is accredited by the New Jersey Department of Education and has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools since 1938.
As of the 2014-15 school year, the school had an enrollment of 496 students and 35.2 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 14.1:1. There were 117 students (23.6% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 49 (9.9% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
The school was the 202nd-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 150th in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 150th in 2010 out of 322 schools listed. The magazine ranked the school 138th in 2008 out of 316 schools.
