ZIP code 07419 has three schools serving grades pre-K through 12 overall, with 1,088 students: Hamburg School (pre-K–8), Hardyston Township Middle School (grades 5–8), and Wallkill Valley Regional High School (grades 9–12). The clearest shared strength is in middle-school ELA and math: across matched grades, results at the two middle schools averaged 11 points above state results in each subject in 2025–2026. Science was less consistent, averaging 1 point below the state, with a sharp weakness at Hamburg in grade 5.
Hardyston is the most consistent standout: it exceeded state results in every reported middle-grade ELA and math grade, both science grades, and both Algebra I measures. Its grade 8 Algebra I proficiency was 94%, versus 75% statewide. Hamburg had notable strengths too, leading Hardyston in grade 7 ELA (75% versus 67%) and grades 6 and 7 math (68% and 63%). But Hamburg was well below the state in grade 5 science (9% versus 27%) and grade 4 math (22% versus 47%). At Wallkill Valley, Geometry was a relative strength—55% versus 52% statewide for the end-of-course test—while Algebra I was weak at 17% versus 40%.
