Summary:
The Upper Saddle River School District in New Jersey is home to three high-performing schools: two elementary schools (Edith A. Bogert Elementary School and Robert D Reynolds Primary School) and one middle school (Emil A. Cavallini Middle School). The district as a whole is ranked 10th out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 5-star rating, indicating exceptional academic achievement across the board.
The standout school in the district is the Emil A. Cavallini Middle School, which is ranked 16th out of 752 middle schools in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores are significantly higher than the state averages, with 89.3% of 6th graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to 56.1% statewide. The school also has a very low student-teacher ratio of 9.4, suggesting strong resources and individualized attention for students.
The two elementary schools in the district also demonstrate strong academic performance, with 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger and test scores well above state averages. However, they do not stand out quite as much as the middle school in terms of their statewide rankings. Across all three schools, the district is well-funded, with per-student spending ranging from $15,177 to $17,586, and low student-teacher ratios between 9.4 and 9.7. While the district's academic achievements are impressive, the relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% across all schools may be an area for improvement.
