The school is part of the Netcong School District, which is ranked 360 out of 615 school districts in New Jersey and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance varies significantly across grade levels and subject areas, with some grades performing well above the district and state averages, while others struggle to meet the benchmarks. For example, Grade 4 ELA and Grade 7 Mathematics have strong proficiency rates, but Grade 5 Science and Grade 8 Mathematics lag behind the district and state averages.

Netcong Elementary School's chronic absenteeism rate of 11.8% is a concern and may be contributing to the academic performance challenges. Additionally, the school's spending per student of $12,749 suggests that it has access to adequate resources, but the school's performance still lags behind the state averages, indicating that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution. The school's leadership and the Netcong School District should closely examine the data, identify the root causes of the performance challenges, and develop targeted strategies to address them, with a focus on improving instructional practices, student engagement, and resource allocation.
