High school students must complete three five-credit courses of mathematics education in order to receive a high school diploma. Students must successfully complete a course in Algebra, Geometry, and one other Math course. Students who meet prerequisite requirements may also enroll in a variety of higher level mathematics courses and computer science courses.

Required course of study: The required course of study in mathematics conforms to the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards in Mathematics. Typically students preparing for college will study mathematics in the following sequence: Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Algebra 3/Trigonometry or Pre-Calculus, with selected students taking Calculus. Students who are at risk of not passing the New Jersey High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA) will be placed in a Plus class which has a Math Lab component that students take along with the Algebra or Geometry course to prepare them for passing the HSPA.

Elective program: The mathematics department offers Statistics, Discrete Math, SAT Prep, and Computer Science elective courses to students who meet prerequisite requirements. These elective courses offer enrichment in the study of mathematics.
