Summary

Memorial Elementary School is a public elementary school located in North Haledon, New Jersey, serving grades PK-4 with a student population of 353. The school is part of the North Haledon School District, which is ranked 278 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Memorial Elementary School has consistently ranked in the middle range of New Jersey elementary schools, typically between the 500-800 range out of around 1,350 schools. The school's performance on NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessments) tests is generally on par with or slightly above the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across grades 3 and 4. However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with female students generally performing better than male students, and Hispanic and White students tending to perform below the state average. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has fluctuated over the years and is generally higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Washington Elementary School, Sicomac Elementary School, and Thomas Jefferson Elementary School, Memorial Elementary School generally underperforms, especially in the higher-performing student subgroups. However, the school serves a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting it may serve a more affluent student population compared to some of the surrounding schools, such as Prospect Park School No. 1 and School 18.
