The rankings are a result of the 2010-11 school year’s performance.

The monthly rankings also include a category of top schools by district factor group, a socioeconomic classification of schools. West Morris Central, an “I” school, and Mendham High School, a “J” school, both missed the top 10 in this year’s rankings. New Jersey Monthly lumped “I” and “J” schools together.
