Summary:
The Hopatcong Borough School District in New Jersey operates 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. While the district as a whole is ranked 498 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, a few individual schools stand out with stronger performance.
Tulsa Trail Elementary School has shown improvement in test scores, with 42.7% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA and 41.8% in Math in 2024-2025, compared to 27.9% and 36% respectively in the previous year. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.7. In contrast, Hopatcong High School has maintained a high 4-year graduation rate of 91.3% in 2023-2024, but has shown mixed performance on test scores, with some areas of strength and others of weakness.
Across the district, there are some concerning trends, such as consistently high chronic absenteeism rates of 14.9% and free/reduced lunch eligibility rates ranging from 28.85% to 36.2%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The district's overall low rankings and weak academic performance, particularly in mathematics, suggest that the Hopatcong Borough School District may need to implement comprehensive improvement strategies to better support the success of its students.
