Summary:
Four public schools serve zip code 07444, from elementary through high school: North Boulevard School and Hillview School (elementary), Pequannock Valley School (middle), and Pequannock Township High School; enrollment ranges from 306 to 655. In 2025–2026, the schools’ matched ELA, mathematics and science results averaged 17 points above state results, but that advantage was down from 22 points the year before. Overall results remain strong relative to the state, but the narrowing advantage—especially in science—is the most important area-wide finding.
Pequannock Valley School stands out most consistently: it exceeded the state in every listed grade 6–8 ELA and mathematics result and in grade 8 science. Its grade 8 Algebra I result was 100%, 26 points above the state, and SchoolDigger ranks it at the 90th percentile statewide. The elementary schools have different strengths: Hillview School led grade 3 ELA by 12 points, while North Boulevard School led grades 4 and 5 ELA and mathematics. The clearest high-school strength was grade 9 Geometry at 92%, 42 points above the state; its clearest concern was grade 11 science, at 26%, 2 points below the state.
Recent changes deserve attention: Hillview School fell 17 points in grade 4 ELA and 23 points in grade 5 mathematics from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while the high school’s grade 11 science fell 19 points. SchoolDigger’s rankings also dipped from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026 at Hillview (81st to 72nd percentile) and the high school (84th to 72nd), while Pequannock Valley School rose from the 85th to the 90th percentile and North Boulevard edged up from the 77th to the 78th. As context, 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible shares ranged from 4% to 6%; student–teacher ratios ranged from 10.1 at the high school to 13.5 at Hillview. These figures describe school context, not the cause of results.
