North Haledon School District

Summary:

The North Haledon School District in New Jersey serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade across two schools: Memorial Elementary School and High Mountain School. Based on the available data, High Mountain School emerges as the standout performer in the district, consistently ranking higher than Memorial Elementary School in state-wide rankings and outperforming the state average in various academic areas.

High Mountain School has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years, indicating its strong academic performance. The school's students have demonstrated higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Algebra I compared to both Memorial Elementary School and the statewide averages. For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, 77.3% of 8th-grade students at High Mountain School were proficient or better in NJSLA/English Language Arts, compared to 57.1% statewide. Similarly, 100% of 8th-grade students at High Mountain School were proficient or better in NJSLA/Algebra I, compared to 72.7% statewide.

While both schools have similar free and reduced lunch rates, High Mountain School has a higher spending per student ($13,562) and a lower student-teacher ratio (9.8) compared to Memorial Elementary School ($11,307 and 10.7, respectively). These factors may contribute to High Mountain School's stronger academic outcomes. However, the district-wide challenge of a 14.9% chronic absenteeism rate at both schools suggests an area that may require further attention and intervention.
