Summary:
The Parsippany-Troy Hills Township School District includes 14 schools—10 elementary, two middle and two high schools—serving children from elementary through high school in Parsippany-Troy Hills Township. In 2025–26, elementary-school averages exceeded state results in every reported grade and subject, and both middle schools were above state averages in their listed core tests. The clearest area-wide strength is math: elementary averages were 24 percentage points above state results, while middle-school math averages were 17 to 23 points higher.
Elementary standouts vary by grade: Northvail Elementary led grade 3 math at 88% and also scored 77% in grade 3 ELA; Littleton Elementary led grade 5 ELA at 87%, math at 86% and science at 61%; and Troy Hills Elementary led grade 3 and grade 4 ELA at 81% and 74%. At the lower end, Eastlake Elementary had the lowest grade 5 ELA and math results, both 58%, while Intervale Elementary had the lowest grade 4 ELA result at 45%, about 2 points below the state. Among middle schools, Brooklawn Middle led in ELA across grades 6–8, while Central Middle led grade 8 science by 6 points. In high school grade 9, Parsippany Hills High led ELA, 74% to 52% at Parsippany High; Parsippany High led Geometry, 87% to 82%.
Elementary averages declined from 2024–25 to 2025–26: 4 points in ELA, 2 in math and 7 in science, and the area’s advantage over state results narrowed in all three subjects. SchoolDigger ranks Northvail in the 95th percentile of New Jersey elementary schools and Parsippany Hills High in the 85th percentile; its rankings also show Eastlake moving from the 89th to the 69th percentile, while Rockaway Meadow Elementary rose from the 76th to the 85th. Context measures do not point to a simple explanation for these differences: in 2024–25, free/reduced lunch eligible rates were 11% at Littleton and 13% at Northvail, while student–teacher ratios were 13.2 and 12.1, respectively. These figures offer context, not a reliable way to predict which school will lead in a particular grade or subject.
