Summary:
Four elementary schools in the Fort Lee School District serve fourth grade; three serve kindergarten through fourth grade, while School No. 2 serves prekindergarten through fourth grade. In 2025–2026, all four were above the state proficiency result in each reported grade and subject, and School No. 1 led all four comparisons.
School No. 1 stands out at the top, averaging 73% across third- and fourth-grade ELA and math, with results of 72% to 77%; its scores were 10 to 13 percentage points above the average of the other three schools in each comparison. The lowest results are split: School No. 2 was last in third-grade ELA, third-grade math, and fourth-grade ELA, with scores of 53% to 58%, while School No. 3 was last in fourth-grade math at 58%. Even these lowest results were above the state by 5 to 12 points, depending on the grade and subject.
School No. 4 is the recent bright spot: its four-result average rose 7 points, from 60% to 67%, while averages fell 7 points at School No. 1, 12 at School No. 2, and 12 at School No. 3. SchoolDigger ranks School No. 1 highest, at 144 of 1,331 and the 89th percentile with four stars; School No. 4 is also rated four stars. Ratios range from 9.4 students per teacher at School No. 2 to 11.8 at School No. 4, so the lowest ratio does not coincide with the strongest scores. In 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible shares ranged from 18% at School No. 1 to 28% at School No. 3; these figures provide context, not an explanation for test results.
