Summary:
The Haledon Public School District in New Jersey has only one elementary school, Haledon Public School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school and district are both ranked below average in the state, with Haledon Public School ranking 985 out of 1,338 New Jersey elementary schools and the district ranking 510 out of 613.
Haledon Public School consistently performs below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. The school's highest proficiency rate is in 7th grade ELA at 43%, but this is still significantly lower than the state average of 53.9%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, 64.98% of students at Haledon Public School were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
Despite the school's low performance, it appears to have relatively high spending per student at $12,560 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.6, suggesting that funding and resources may not be the primary drivers of the school's academic challenges. The combination of low test scores, high poverty, and high absenteeism indicates that Haledon Public School may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of its student population and improve academic achievement.
