Summary:

The Waldwick School District in New Jersey is home to two exemplary elementary schools: Julia A Traphagen School and Crescent Elementary School. Both schools are ranked highly within the state and are rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating they are above-average performers.

The schools' academic performance is particularly impressive, with students significantly outperforming the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across grades 3-5. For example, in 2024-2025, 3rd grade ELA proficiency at Julia A Traphagen was 74.5% compared to the state average of 44.9%, and Crescent Elementary School stood out with 86.6% 3rd grade Math proficiency compared to the state average of 49.8%. Additionally, both schools have very low rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, suggesting they serve relatively affluent student populations.

While the schools are performing exceptionally well overall, there are still opportunities for growth. For instance, 5th grade ELA proficiency at both schools, while still above state average, is lower than the 3rd and 4th grade results, indicating a potential area for improvement. Nonetheless, the data clearly demonstrates that Julia A Traphagen School and Crescent Elementary School are delivering high-quality education and strong academic outcomes for their students, making them standout elementary schools within the Waldwick School District.
