Summary:
Pequannock Township School District includes five schools: three elementary schools, one middle school and one high school, with enrollment ranging from 306 to 655. In the latest results, elementary-school averages were 16 percentage points above state results in ELA and 22 points above in math; the middle school was above the state in every reported comparison. The key takeaway is that results are generally strong relative to the state, with the high school’s grade 11 science result standing out as an exception.
Among the elementary schools, North Boulevard School has the strongest overall averages: 66% in ELA and 71% in math, compared with state averages of 49% and 47%. It leads in fourth-grade ELA and fourth- and fifth-grade math. Stephen J. Gerace School leads in third-grade math at 88%, fifth-grade ELA at 75%, and fifth-grade science at 41%. Hillview School leads third-grade ELA at 74%, but has the lowest elementary results in fifth-grade ELA (62%) and math (57%). Pequannock Valley School is above state results in every reported middle-school comparison, including eighth-grade Algebra I at 100% versus 75%. At the high school, Geometry is a standout at 92% versus 50% statewide; grade 11 science is 26% versus 29%.
Results have shifted over time: the elementary schools’ combined advantage over the state in matched ELA and math results narrowed from 24 percentage points in 2024–2025 to 19 in 2025–2026. Changes were uneven—Hillview’s fifth-grade math fell 23 points, while Gerace’s third-grade math rose 21. SchoolDigger’s latest statewide rankings place Valley at the 90th percentile, North Boulevard at the 78th, Gerace at the 76th, Hillview at the 72nd and the high school at the 72nd; these are rankings, not test-score percentages. All five schools report free/reduced lunch eligibility for 2024–2025, ranging from 4% at Gerace to 6% at the high school. These figures offer context, not an explanation for achievement differences; school results also vary by grade and subject.
