Summary:

The Paramus Public School District in New Jersey is home to 5 high-performing elementary schools that consistently rank among the best in the state. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade, providing a strong academic foundation for the community.

Two schools stand out as top performers within the district: Midland Elementary School and Parkway Elementary School. Midland Elementary is ranked 77th out of 1,347 New Jersey elementary schools, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, with impressive proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (ELA) and math. Parkway Elementary is ranked 92nd in the state and also boasts high ELA and math scores, along with a low free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a relatively affluent student population.

Across the district, the elementary schools consistently outperform the state average in ELA and math proficiency for 3rd and 4th graders. However, the district also faces some challenges, such as a slightly higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state average. Additionally, the data suggests potential differences in resource allocation, with variations in student-teacher ratios and per-student spending across the schools. Addressing these areas could help the district ensure equitable access to resources and support for all students.
