Summary:

ZIP code 07440 has one listed school, Stephen J. Gerace School, serving kindergarten through grade 5 in the Pequannock Township School District. It enrolls 334 students. Its 2025–2026 results were above state proficiency rates in all seven reported grade-and-subject results, the clearest overall sign of strength in the area.

There is no separate ZIP-code school leader or trailer because only one school is listed. Within the school’s results, third-grade math stands out: 88% were proficient, 39 percentage points above the state and 9 points above the district. Fourth-grade ELA was the lowest result, with 54% proficient; that was 8 points above the state but 4 points below the district. The school’s grade-level averages were 63% in ELA and 70% in math, compared with state averages of 49% and 47%, respectively. Grade 5 science was also above both comparison figures: 41% proficient, versus 27% statewide and 35% districtwide.

Recent score changes varied by grade rather than moving in one direction: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, ELA fell 8 points in grade 3 and 17 points in grade 4, while grade 5 rose 1 point. Math rose 21 points in grade 3 but fell 11 in grade 4 and 7 in grade 5; grade 5 science increased 8 points. SchoolDigger gives the school’s district a four-star rating and ranks it 148th of 607; its school percentile ranking went from 89th in 2023–2024 to 76th in 2025–2026. Context figures for 2024–2025 include a 13.8 student–teacher ratio, chronic absenteeism of 1.5% (compared with 6.2% districtwide and 14.4% statewide), and 3.9% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch. These are observations, not explanations for test results.
