Summary

Hopatcong High School serves 506 students in grades 8–12 in Hopatcong, New Jersey, as part of the Hopatcong Borough School District. Its clearest academic concern is mathematics, especially Geometry: proficiency was 6% in both Geometry measures in 2025–2026, compared with 52% statewide for Geometry End of Course and 50% for ninth-grade Geometry—a gap of 45 and 44 points, respectively.

Results vary considerably by grade and assessment. Ninth-grade English Language Arts proficiency was 29%, matching the district but 23 points below the state; it was also the lowest among nine nearby schools reporting comparable results. Every one of those schools scored higher, including Dover High School at 34%. By contrast, Hopatcong’s 11th-grade NJGPA English Language Arts result was 75%, just 1 point below the state. Graduation and attendance offer a more favorable counterpoint: the 2024–2025 graduation rate was 89.3%, compared with 88.9% statewide, and chronic absenteeism was 13%, below the state’s 14% and the district’s 15%.

Some measures have improved, but progress is uneven: eighth-grade ELA rose 13 points and 11th-grade NJGPA math rose 14 points from the earliest reported year, while Geometry End of Course proficiency fell 10 points and its gap with the state widened by 10 points. SchoolDigger ranks Hopatcong in the 30th percentile statewide, with 2 stars, for 2025–2026; its percentile standing moved from 23 to 32 to 30 over the last three years. The school reports 35% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, second-highest among eight nearby schools with the same measure, whose average was 22%. Its 11.6 student-teacher ratio is close to the peer average of 11.3. SchoolDigger’s ranking for Hispanic Students is at the 14th percentile—16 points below the overall ranking—and fell 25 points from the prior year, a notably weaker relative ranking for how the school serves this group. Its Low Socio Economic Status Students ranking, by contrast, rose from the 10th to the 29th percentile between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026.
