Elmwood Park School District


Summary:

The Elmwood Park School District in New Jersey consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

Among the district's schools, Gantner Avenue School stands out as the top performer, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math on standardized tests. In contrast, Sixteenth Avenue School lags behind the other schools in the district. Memorial Middle School also impresses with its exceptional performance on Algebra I tests, significantly outpacing the district and state averages.

While the district's graduation rate at Memorial Senior High School is above the state average, the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% is a concern. Additionally, the high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 38% to 46%, suggest potential socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student learning and achievement across the district.
