Fair Haven School District

Summary:

The Fair Haven School District is home to two exceptional schools that consistently rank among the top performers in New Jersey: Knollwood School, a middle school, and Viola L Sickles School, an elementary school. Both schools have received 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger, indicating they are among the top-performing schools in the state.

The school boasts exceptional test scores, with the majority of students scoring proficient or better on NJSLA assessments.
