The Rockaway Township School District in New Jersey operates 6 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 1 middle school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with several standout schools that consistently rank among the top in the state.

Two elementary schools in the district stand out as exceptional performers. Stony Brook Elementary School is a 4-star school with exceptional math proficiency, with over 85% of 3rd graders scoring proficient or better. Similarly, Katharine D Malone Elementary School boasts a 4-star rating and the highest 5th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate in the district at 83.7%. The district's schools generally outperform state averages in both English Language Arts and Math, with standout performance in Algebra I and Geometry.

While the district's elementary schools excel, there is some variation in performance, with Stony Brook and Katharine D Malone leading the way. The lone middle school in the district, Copeland Middle School, has lower proficiency rates in math compared to the elementary schools, suggesting potential areas for improvement at the middle school level. Additionally, the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% is an area of concern that may require targeted interventions.
