Sparta High School until 1974, when the Lenape Valley district was created. The district had been 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. ==Schools==
