Summary:
The Little Falls Township Public School District in New Jersey operates three schools: two elementary schools (Little Falls Township Public School #2 and Little Falls Township Public School #3) and one middle school (Little Falls Township Public School #1). The district serves a diverse student population with moderate levels of economic disadvantage.
Little Falls Township Public School #1 stands out as the top performer in the district, consistently ranking among the best middle schools in New Jersey and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are significantly higher than the state averages, particularly in Mathematics and Algebra I. In contrast, Little Falls Township Public School #3 has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 226 out of 1,342 in 2022-2023 to 482 out of 1,347 in 2024-2025, despite its test scores still being above the state average.
Across the district, all three schools have the same chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average. The spending per student also varies significantly, ranging from $13,515 to $17,550 per student, suggesting the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation to ensure more equitable funding across the schools.
