Summary:

The 07851 school list includes one school, Sandyston Walpack Consolidated School, serving prekindergarten through grade 6 and enrolling 130 students. There are no other listed schools to compare, so the clearest benchmark is New Jersey’s results in the same grades and subjects. The school’s strongest overall subject picture in 2025–2026 was mathematics: its four-grade average was 57%, compared with 46% statewide, though that advantage was driven by a standout grade 5 result rather than strength in every grade.

Grade 5 mathematics was the school’s standout result: 85% of students were proficient, 39 percentage points above the state’s 46%. The weakest comparison with the state was grade 3 mathematics, where 42% were proficient, 8 points below the state’s 49%; grade 4 math was also below the state, by 5 points. ELA was above the state overall, but results varied by grade: grade 5 reached 69% versus 52% statewide, while grade 4 was 42% versus 46%. Grade 5 science was 23%, 4 points below the state’s 27%. Because only one school is listed, these results identify subject and grade strengths, not area-wide school leaders or trailers.

Results changed unevenly across the two years shown. The math average rose from 52% in 2024–2025 to 57% in 2025–2026, widening its advantage over the state from 7 to 11 points; the ELA average fell from 59% to 56%, and its state advantage narrowed from 7 to 6 points. Grade 5 science improved from 19% to 23%, while the state result fell from 30% to 27%, reducing the school’s shortfall from 11 to 4 points. SchoolDigger gave the school 3 stars in each of the three years shown; its percentile moved from 60 to 53 to 56. Other context includes a 10.3 student–teacher ratio and, in 2024–2025, 23% of students free/reduced lunch eligible. Chronic absenteeism that year was 11%, compared with 14% statewide. The year-to-year test comparisons involve different grade cohorts and do not track the same students.
