Summary:

Zip code 07420 has one listed school, Haskell Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 8. With no other listed local schools, the key comparison is Haskell’s results with state results: in 2025–2026, its average across grades 3–8 was 58% in English language arts (ELA), compared with 51% statewide, and 46% in mathematics, compared with 40% statewide. The central finding is that Haskell is ahead of the state on average in both subjects, but performance varies considerably by grade.

Haskell’s strongest comparisons are grade 3 ELA and Algebra I: 79% versus 48% statewide in grade 3 ELA, a 31-point advantage, and 86% versus 40% for the Algebra I end-of-course result, a 46-point advantage. Grade 8 mathematics also stands out positively, at 37% versus 23% statewide, or 14 points higher. The clearest shortfall is grade 5 science: 17% compared with 27% statewide, an 11-point gap. Grade 8 ELA was also below the state result, 49% versus 53%.

Results have shifted unevenly over the two years of test data: the average ELA advantage over the state grew from 3 points in 2024–2025 to 7 points in 2025–2026, while the mathematics advantage changed only slightly, from 5.8 to 5.5 points. Algebra I’s end-of-course advantage narrowed from 55 points to 46. SchoolDigger places Haskell at the 59th percentile in 2025–2026, up from the 51st percentile the year before but below the 68th percentile in 2023–2024. Other context includes a 9.6 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 40% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; these figures do not establish what drives test results. Since there is only one listed school, families cannot compare school-to-school results within the zip code.
