Summary:
The Rochelle Park School District in New Jersey consists of a single elementary school, Midland School #1, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 471 students. While the school has some areas of strength, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in certain grade levels for English Language Arts, it also faces challenges, particularly in lower-than-average proficiency rates in Mathematics, especially in the upper grades.
Midland School #1 does not appear to be a standout school within the district or the state, as it is ranked 346 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is inconsistent, with some grade levels performing above the state average in ELA and Mathematics, while others perform significantly below the state average. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, from 606 out of 1,338 elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 736 out of 1,347 in 2024-2025.
While the school has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% and a student-teacher ratio of 9.8 to 1, its overall proficiency rates in ELA, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the state averages. The school's relatively low free and reduced-price lunch rate of 14.86% may also suggest that it serves a more affluent student population, which could raise questions about equity and access to resources for disadvantaged students.
