Summary:

The Fair Lawn Public School District is a high-performing school district in New Jersey, with 9 schools serving students from elementary through high school. The district as a whole is ranked 59 out of 609 districts in the state and is rated 5 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out for their exceptional performance. Radburn Elementary School is ranked 22 out of 1,347 elementary schools in New Jersey and has a 5-star rating, with consistently high test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Thomas Jefferson Middle School is ranked 47 out of 752 middle schools in the state and also has a 5-star rating, with over 80% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Fair Lawn High School is ranked 64 out of 434 high schools in New Jersey and has a 4-star rating, with a high graduation rate of 91.3% and strong test scores.

While the district as a whole performs well, there are some areas for improvement. Chronic absenteeism is a concern across all schools, with a rate of 14.9%, higher than the state average. Additionally, there is a significant gap in test scores between the highest-performing and lower-performing schools, suggesting a need to focus on equity and improving outcomes at the lower-performing schools. The district may also want to examine how its wide range of per-student spending, from $4,704 to $9,028, is allocated and how it correlates with student performance.
