Summary:
Elementary schools in Haledon Public School District consist of one school, Haledon Public School, serving pre-K through grade 8 and enrolling 996 students. In 2025–2026, its average proficiency across grades 3–8 was 30% in English language arts (ELA), compared with 51% statewide, and 26% in math, compared with 40% statewide. Every tested grade was below its state comparison in both subjects. The most important finding is that the school’s results trail the state broadly, with the largest average gap in ELA.
Within the school, grade 7 ELA was the strongest 2025–2026 result at 40%, but still 16 percentage points below the state’s 56%. Grade 8 was the weakest in both subjects: ELA proficiency was 20% versus 53% statewide, a 33-point gap, while math was 18% versus 23%, a 5-point gap. There is no other school in the district list to compare with Haledon or identify as a school-level leader or trailer.
Results changed unevenly over time. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Haledon’s average ELA proficiency fell from 38% to 30%, while the state average declined from 54% to 51%; the gap widened from 16 to 21 points. Math was essentially flat at 26%, while the state average stayed near 40%, and the gap widened slightly from 14 to 15 points. Grade 8 math was a notable exception to any smooth pattern: it went from 28%—8 points above the state—in 2024–2025 to 18%, 5 points below the state, the following year. SchoolDigger ranks Haledon 1,062 of 1,331 schools statewide (20th percentile) for 2025–2026; its rank was 985 of 1,338 (26th percentile) in 2023–2024. As context, 68% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, the student–teacher ratio was 10.4 that year, and chronic absenteeism was 22%, compared with 14% statewide. With only one school listed, these figures describe Haledon but cannot support comparisons among district schools.
