NJ School Districts With Most Drug, Alcohol Cases: New Data 2020

NEW JERSEY – A number of New Jersey school districts had sizable increases in substance-abuse cases this past year as drugs and alcohol continue to be a pervasive problem in the state's cities and suburban areas. And teen vaping may be driving up the numbers, school officials say.

New Jersey has released its annual list of substance-abuse cases reported by each school district, revealing the most recent data of reported cases. Below are the lists of the school districts with the highest to lowest number of cases in 2018-19.

Below that are the school districts with the highest increases – and biggest reductions – in cases from the previous year, between 2017-18 and 2018-19, which were the most recent years available.

The data, obviously, was compiled before Gov. Phil Murphy shut down school buildings because of the coronavirus crisis, and it's not known what impact the outbreak has had on the substance abuse crisis in schools.

Murphy announced on Wednesday that in-person instruction can return in September, but districts can opt to go fully remote. Read more: NJ Coronavirus, School Reopen Updates: What You Need To Know

While some city school districts, such as Newark, routinely appear at the top of the list, others have seen a sharp drop in the reporting of drug and alcohol cases over the past year.

A number of suburban areas, meanwhile, showed sharp increases. Indeed, the Red Bank Regional School District (see list below) had among the highest increases in cases between 2017-18 and 2018-19. Pinelands and Hazlet had among the highest numbers per 1,000 students.

The state Department of Education has cautioned that these numbers are reported by each district, so each jurisdiction is responsible for reporting its results fairly and accurately. But they are required by law to report them.

New Jersey school officials told Patch that teen vaping has helped drive the numbers up over the past two years since many districts now count e-cigarette use as susbstance abuse.

Please note that Patch did not include school districts that had no reported cases; we also didn't include school districts that had no increase or decrease in cases on the second list.
