Summary:

Alpine, New Jersey, has one school in this data: Alpine Elementary School, which serves kindergarten through eighth grade and enrolls 146 students. With no other school in the group, there is no school-to-school comparison. In 2025–26, the school’s average results were above New Jersey’s in English Language Arts (82% versus 51%), mathematics (63% versus 44%) and science (62% versus 23%). The most important finding for parents is that strong overall results conceal a notable fourth-grade math weakness: 40%, below the state’s 47%.

The school’s standout result was Algebra I End of Course, where 100% were proficient in 2025–26, 60 percentage points above the state. Its two-grade science average also led the state by 39 points, compared with advantages of 31 points in ELA and 19 in mathematics. The clearest concern was fourth-grade math: its 40% result was 7 points below the state and fell 27 points from the school’s 67% the prior year. Fourth-grade ELA was stronger, at 55%, 9 points above the state. These differences show that results vary by grade and subject, even within one school.

Across the two test years, average results and state advantages declined in ELA (from 90% versus 54%, a 36-point lead, to 82% versus 51%, a 31-point lead), mathematics (68% versus 44%, a 24-point lead, to 63% versus 44%, a 19-point lead) and science (74% versus 25%, a 49-point lead, to 62% versus 23%, a 39-point lead). Algebra I remained at 100%, though its state advantage narrowed from 62 to 60 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide rank also fell, from 37th of 1,338 schools (97th percentile) in 2023–24 to 231st of 1,331 (83rd percentile) in 2025–26. Chronic absenteeism was 4.7% in 2024–25, compared with 14.4% statewide; the school’s free/reduced lunch eligible measure was 2% in 2022–23.
