Drugs and alcohol are not just a problem for the cities anymore.

New Jersey releases a list of substance abuse cases reported by each school district every year. Below are the lists of the school districts with the highest to lowest number of cases in 2014-15. Below that are the school districts with the highest increases — and biggest reductions — in cases from the previous year, between 2013-14 and 2014-15, which were the most recent years available.

While some city school districts, such as Paterson and Jersey City, routinely appear at the top of the list, others, such as Newark, have seen a sharp drop in the reporting of drug and alcohol cases over the years. Indeed, Toms River (see list below) leads all school districts with the highest increase in cases between 2013-14 and 2014-15, with 26, followed by Lower Cape May Regional, with 22. Both districts also lead Newark in total cases.

Mike Yaple, a spokesman for the state Department of Education, cautioned that these numbers are reported by each district, so each jurisdiction is responsible for reporting their results fairly and accurately. But they are required by law to report them. Please note that we 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.
