North Haledon School District


Summary:

The North Haledon School District in New Jersey operates two schools: Memorial Elementary School and High Mountain School. While both schools serve the North Haledon community, the data reveals a notable disparity in their academic performance, with High Mountain School emerging as the standout institution.

High Mountain School, a middle school, is ranked in the top 25% of New Jersey middle schools, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's English Language Arts and mathematics proficiency rates significantly exceed the state averages, with 71.2% of 6th graders and 71.6% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better in ELA, and an impressive 100% of 8th grade Algebra I students scoring proficient or better. In contrast, Memorial Elementary School's performance is more closely aligned with the state's average, with proficiency rates generally in line with or slightly below the New Jersey benchmarks.

The data also suggests that the higher per-student spending at High Mountain School ($13,562 compared to $11,307 at Memorial Elementary) may be contributing to the school's stronger academic results. Additionally, High Mountain's lower chronic absenteeism rate of 6.0%, compared to Memorial Elementary's 11.1%, could be a factor in the performance gap. The demographic differences between the two schools, with High Mountain having a less diverse student population, may also play a role in the observed academic outcomes.
