Ho-Ho-Kus Public School is the only school in the list, so there is no school-to-school top or bottom comparison; its strongest average advantage over the state was in mathematics, at 47 percentage points, compared with 34 points in ELA. Results varied by grade: ELA ranged from 75% in grade 5 to 91% in grade 6, while mathematics ranged from 70% in grade 8 to 95% in grade 7; even the lowest results in both subjects were above their state comparisons. Algebra I at end of course was 100% proficient, versus 40% statewide. SchoolDigger ranked the school 40th of 1,331 schools in 2025–2026, in the 97th percentile; the district was rated 10th of 607, in the 98th percentile, with five stars. Geometry results are suppressed by the state, and this one-school list cannot show differences between schools.

Across years, average ELA was nearly unchanged, moving from 85.2% in 2024–2025 to 84.7% in 2025–2026, while average mathematics rose from 85% to 87%; the school’s advantage over the state widened by about 2 percentage points in both subjects. Science was the clearest setback: the average across grades 5 and 8 fell from 63% to 47%, although it remained above the state average. SchoolDigger’s school ranking improved from 128th in 2023–2024 to 71st in 2024–2025 and 40th in 2025–2026. As context, the school’s student-teacher ratio was 11.9 in 2024–2025, and chronic absenteeism was 7%, compared with 14% statewide. Its reported free/reduced lunch eligible share was 1% in 2022–2023, an earlier year than the test results.
