context_page_description: Teaneck High School is a four-year comprehensive public high school in Teaneck, in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States, serving students in ninth through twelfth grades as the lone secondary school of the Teaneck Public Schools. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 1935.
  As of the 2018–19 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,180 students and 112.6 classroom teachers, for a student–teacher ratio of 10.5:1. There were 276 students eligible for free lunch and 117 eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
  The school was renovated in 2003–04, giving students new classrooms as well as a new student center. Teaneck has implemented two academies that focus on the sciences and the arts.
  Teaneck's sports teams are nicknamed the Highwaymen; girls' teams are called the Highwaywomen. The team name comes from the highwaymen who would seize money and belongings from those traveling along highways during the 17th and 18th century and for the school's location overlooking Route 4.
