The Pascack Valley Regional High School District is a regional public high school district encompassing students from four communities in the Pascack Valley region of Bergen County, New Jersey, United States, serving students in ninth through twelfth grades from Hillsdale, Montvale, River Vale and Woodcliff Lake.〔(Pascack Valley Regional High School District 2014 Report Card Narrative ), New Jersey Department of Education. Accessed March 21, 2015. "The district is comprised of two high schools. Pascack Hills High School, which is located in Montvale, receives students from the towns of Montvale and Woodcliff Lake. Pascack Valley High School, located in Hillsdale, enrolls students from Hillsdale and River Vale. "〕 As of the 2011-12 school year, the district's two schools had an enrollment of 2,055 students and 164.2 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.52:1.〔(District information for Pascack Valley Regional School District ), National Center for Education Statistics. Accessed December 5, 2014.〕 The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "I", the second-highest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.〔(NJ Department of Education District Factor Groups (DFG) for School Districts ), New Jersey Department of Education. Accessed December 5, 2014.〕 ==History== In 1955, Pascack Valley Regional High School District opened Pascack Valley High School with an enrollment of 650 students from the boroughs of Hillsdale, Montvale, River Vale, and Woodcliff Lake, having bonded $1,250,000 towards the costs of construction.〔Staff. ("COUNTY IN GEORGIA SELLS BOND ISSUE; Richmond Public Building Liens Totaling $2,850,000 Go at 2.718% Interest Cost" ), ''The New York Times'', August 27, 1954. Accessed October 26, 2013.〕 Previously, students from those municipalities attended other local high schools, including Westwood High School and Park Ridge High School, but with increasing enrollment as the suburbs boomed, the towns, with State approval, formed a regional high school district. During the next several years enrollment increased and so did the faculty and building capacity. Additional classrooms were added and the program of studies was expanded. Increased enrollment in 1963 resulted in double sessions. In September 1964, Pascack Hills High School opened up to students living in Montvale, Woodcliff Lake and a portion of Hillsdale, with a flexible scheduling program that allowed students to select courses using a system run by an analyst from International Telephone and Telegraph using a mainframe computer system.〔Staff. (NEWS NOTES: CLASSROOM AND CAMPUS" ), ''The New York Times'', March 1, 1964. Accessed October 26, 2013. "An experiment in flexible school schedules for students through the use of computers will be conducted in the $2.9 million Pascack Hills High School that will open in September in Montvale, N. J."〕 Pascack Valley High School had the balance of Hillsdale students and all of River Vale students. In the early 1990s, western (west of Pascack Road) Hillsdale transitioned from sending to Pascack Hills to Pascack Valley. By 1970, the enrollment was again up to capacity and building construction was necessary to house 1,800 students. This expansion of Pascack Valley High School provided additional classrooms, expanded department areas, and other facilities such as gymnasium, a new cafeteria and library. In March 2008, the district announced plans to offer online courses, beginning in the 2008-09 school year, with that school year's seniors being given priority. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pascack Valley Regional High School District」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
