Summary

Alexander Hamilton School is an exceptional elementary school serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade in Glen Rock, New Jersey, which is part of the Glen Rock Public School District. This top-performing school has consistently ranked within the top 5% of all elementary schools in New Jersey, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade.

Alexander Hamilton School's academic performance is truly outstanding, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that far exceed the state averages, particularly in the upper elementary grades. The school's success extends across diverse student subgroups, including female students, male students, Asian students, and white students, all of whom perform exceptionally well. Additionally, the school maintains relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting a strong focus on student engagement and participation.

While Alexander Hamilton School's academic achievements are impressive, it is important to note that the school serves a relatively affluent student population, with a very low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This contrasts with some nearby schools, such as Roosevelt Elementary School in Hawthorne, which has a much higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students. Nonetheless, other high-performing schools in the area, such as Richard E. Byrd School, Central School, and Clara E. Coleman School, also demonstrate strong academic achievement, suggesting a commitment to excellence across the Glen Rock Public School District.
