Ridgewood NJ , This past Thursday, June 21, a whole new crop of graduation seniors where launched into adulthood. A procession of 393 Ridgewood High School seniors made the walk from the turret, down the walkway and onto the Ridgewood High School Stadium field to receive their diplomas in the 117th annual RHS graduation ceremony.
According to the Ridgewood BOE website 87.6 % or 339 students will attend a four-year university, and 7.7 % or 30 students will go on to a two-year college.With one student going to trade school, two who joined the US armed forces and 8 graduates will take a year off. Of those attending college 73.1 % or 291 students will go to schools out of state down slightly from last year and only 21.6 percent ,86 students will remain in state , with Bergen Community College in Paramus receiving the largest percentage of graduates with 18 .
That’s all good and fine, but I would like to see statistics on completion of degrees!
