Leonia High School is a four-year comprehensive public high school serving students in ninth through twelfth grade from the Borough of Leonia in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States, operating as part of the Leonia Public Schools. Students from Edgewater attend the school as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Edgewater Public Schools.
As of the 2014-15 school year, the school had an enrollment of 689 students and 58.4 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.8:1. There were 86 students (12.5% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 28 (4.1% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
The school opened at its current location in January 1977, after multiple issues with subcontractors led to several delays from the original planned opening in September at the start of the school year. Constructed at a cost of $4.5 million and offering 50% more space than its predecessor, the building served 650 students, including 140 from Edgewater.
A $6 million expansion of the school included science laboratories, a digital TV-Media Workshop, a music room, and new classrooms.
In the 2011 "Ranking America's High Schools" issue by The Washington Post, the school was ranked 14th in New Jersey and 657th nationwide.
The school was the 94th-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 52nd in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 49th in 2010 out of 322 schools listed. The magazine ranked the school 51st in 2008 out of 316 schools. The school was ranked 67th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which included 316 schools across the state.
