Vineland High School is a four-year public high school located in Vineland, in Cumberland County, New Jersey, United States, serving students in ninth through twelfth grades as part of the Vineland Public Schools. The now reunified school operates from a south campus that had been Vineland Senior High School South (which opened in 1963) and a north campus that was formerly Vineland Senior High School North (established in 1976). The original high school in Vineland dates back to 1870, and the 1927 Vineland High School dates to 1927 structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 3, 1995, and is now known as Landis Intermediate School.
As of the 2014-15 school year, the school had an enrollment of 2,616 students and 201.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.0:1. There were 1,363 students (52.1% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 274 (10.5% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
A proposed dress code, slated to take effect for the 2006-07 school year, gave way to controversy and debate among students and parents.
The school was the 264th-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 297th in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 275th in 2010 out of 322 schools listed. The magazine ranked the school 222nd in 2008 out of 316 schools. The school was ranked 194th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.
