Submitted by Central Jersey College Prep.

Central Jersey College Prep announced today that for the 13th straight year, 100 percent of its senior class will be graduating on time this Spring and that every member of the Class of ‘23 has also been accepted to a college or university next Fall, continuing an unprecedented streak which began in 2011.

“This time of year is very special, as it is the culmination of years of hard work for our students, teachers, staff, and parents,” stated Dr. Namik Sercan, CJCP’s Chief Education Officer. “Like all public schools in the area, our students include some of the most at-risk and educationally disadvantaged students, with many battling years of systemic racism and part of families that in the past were never provided the opportunity to attend college. Now many of our seniors will be attending the most elite institutions in the country. While we have so much to celebrate, the accomplishments of our students provide a needed and much more important reminder that every New Jersey public school student can succeed if provided with access to great teachers, facilities, and a strong learning environment. Our graduating students show us what positive, generational change in our public schools can look like. We are so proud of our students and thankful for the great support we have received throughout the communities we serve.”
 
In 2022, U.S. News and World Report announced in its annual nationwide ranking of high schools that CJCP ranked as the top public charter high school in the State of New Jersey and also ranked the school number 32 among all 406 high schools ranked in New Jersey and number 707 out of nearly 24,000 public high schools in 50 state and the District of Columbia.
