Summary:

The Pompton Lakes School District in New Jersey consists of 4 schools: 2 elementary schools (Lincoln School and Lenox School), 1 middle school (Lakeside School), and 1 high school (Pompton Lakes High School). The district's schools exhibit a mix of high and lower performance, with Lincoln School standing out as the top performer.

Lincoln School is the highest-performing school in the district, with the strongest proficiency rates on NJSLA tests across grades 3-5 in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, Lenox School lags behind, with significantly lower proficiency rates. Pompton Lakes High School also performs well, with strong graduation and low dropout rates, as well as solid performance on the NJGPA exams.

Across the district, there are some areas of concern, such as higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates and declining proficiency rates on NJSLA tests from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025. The district will likely need to investigate the factors contributing to these performance gaps and develop strategies to improve outcomes, particularly in science and for the lower-performing schools.
