In brief
The short version on Lake Telemark’s schools
Which school depends on your street
With five elementary and two high schools, the school a child attends depends on your address. Elementary grades range from C to B+, so it’s worth checking the specific school, not just the town. After that, everyone goes to Copeland Middle School. See the path ↓
Reading is above the state; math is just below
Reading proficiency is 51%, 4 points above the state. Math is 24%, 1 point below the state. Both are close enough to average that small changes could flip them. Test scores ↓
This summary is written from the data on this page. Test scores are from 2020–21, a pandemic year, so treat small gaps with caution.

How the School Grade works
Results, not inputs. Math and reading proficiency on New Jersey’s state tests against the state average, plus the four-year graduation rate. Spending and class size are shown but don’t count. Tests: 2020–21; graduation: class of 2020.
The whole path. A town’s grade follows its kids through every district that serves it, weighted by students tested. Tests count 60%, graduation 40%.
Graded within the state. Each state writes its own tests, so districts are compared with the rest of New Jersey only. A+ is the top 5%, A the next 10%, A− the next 10%, the B range the next 30%, the C range the next 30%, D the rest.
What a grade can’t tell you. Test results track family income, so we also compare towns with similar incomes. Visit, ask other parents, and read neighbor reviews. It’s our own summary of U.S. Department of Education data, not an official rating.
