Summary:

Saddle Brook School District includes four schools serving grades K–12: three K–6 elementary schools and one grades 7–12 middle/high school, with 1,778 students overall. The elementary results vary considerably by school and grade, while the middle/high school has several strong math results alongside weaker scores in some other subjects. The clearest overall finding is that elementary performance is not uniform: Salome H. Long Memorial School leads on the latest four-grade averages, while Franklin School has the lowest.

Long stands out most among the elementary schools, averaging 66% in ELA and 65% in math for 2025–2026; it led in ELA grades 4–6 and math grades 3, 4 and 6, and exceeded state results in all four tested grades in both subjects. Franklin averaged 43% in ELA and 35% in math, though it led grade-3 ELA at 61%. The gap between the schools reached 47 points in grade-6 math and 37 points in grade-5 ELA. Helen I. Smith School was in between, averaging 52% in both subjects, with comparatively strong sixth-grade results. At the middle/high school, math was a notable strength: results were 20–31 points above the state on the listed Algebra I measures and 18–25 points above on Geometry measures. Its grade-11 ELA and science results were below state results.

Recent changes differ by school and subject rather than showing a districtwide rise: Long’s average ELA increased 4 points, while its math average fell 1; Helen I. Smith’s math average declined 5 points, while Franklin’s math average rose 2. SchoolDigger’s latest rankings also place Long highest among the elementary schools at 348 of 1,331 schools (74th percentile, 4 stars), followed by Helen I. Smith at 584 (56th percentile, 3 stars) and Franklin at 869 (35th percentile, 2 stars). All three report free/reduced lunch eligible for school year 2024–2025: 20% at Long, 29% at Helen I. Smith and 34% at Franklin. Their student-teacher ratios are fairly close, from 11.8 at Helen I. Smith to 13.6 at Franklin; these measures provide context, not an explanation for test results.
