Summary

Haledon Public School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Haledon, New Jersey, with 1,005 students. The school is part of the Haledon Public School District, which is ranked 506 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Haledon Public School consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of New Jersey elementary schools, with low proficiency rates on state assessments that are significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 28.6% to 44.2% across grades 3-8, compared to the state average of 44.9% to 57.1%. In Mathematics, the proficiency rates ranged from 21.6% to 31% compared to the state average of 39.8% to 49.8%. The school also struggles to effectively serve its diverse student population, with subgroups like Asian, White, and Special Education students performing in the bottom 25% of the state.

However, Washington Elementary School in the nearby Hawthorne Public School District outperforms Haledon Public School on academic measures, with proficiency rates closer to the state averages. Additionally, while Haledon Public School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.6, it spends less per student ($12,560) compared to Washington Elementary School ($16,467). Addressing the school's consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, which range from 14.9% to 24.6%, will be crucial for improving student outcomes at Haledon Public School.

Open Quote This is an amazing school. The hands on teaching has had all three of my daughters grades increase to high honor since transferring from West Milford. The principal and vice are so humlble and personable it refreshing. Absurd to see a one out of five star rating. Take it from an involved parent of three HPS students that it’s one of the best in the district. Close Quote
