Maple Shade High School is a comprehensive community public high school that serves students in seventh through twelfth grade from Maple Shade Township, in Burlington County, New Jersey, United States, as part of the Maple Shade School District.
As of the 2005-06 school year, the school had an enrollment of 984 students and 66.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 14.9.
The school was the 271st-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 316 schools statewide, in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2008 cover story on the state's Top Public High Schools. The school was ranked 253rd in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state.
Prior to the school's opening in 1972, many of the township's students were sent to the now-defunct Merchantville High School in neighboring Camden County.
Mission Statement
"The students, parents, staff, and administrators of the Maple Shade school district are a community of learners, each responsible for supporting one another in reaching our highest potential."
Academics
Students complete both midterms and final examinations. The test scores make up ten percent each of the student's final grade, with each academic quarter comprising of twenty percent each. Academic awards are given as Principal's Honor Roll (4.0-5.2; nothing below 90), High Honor Roll (3.4-3.999; nothing below 80), and Honor Roll (2.8-3.399; nothing below 77). For entrance into National Honor Society students must have a cumulative average of 3.5. In 2008, the MPHS school board approved a new honors program that would allow eighth grade students to begin taking high school courses. Acceptance into the honors program is based on not just on grades, but also more subjective criteria including student interviews, essays, and parent nominations. MPHS students have the opportunity to earn college credits through Burlington County College for taking certain courses at the school. The credits are potentially transferable to a student's future institution of higher education.
