Summary:

The West New York School District in New Jersey consists of 9 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 472 out of 609 in the state and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant room for improvement in the quality of education provided.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Public School Number Two is the top performer, with the highest proficiency rates on standardized tests across multiple grade levels and subjects. West New York Middle School also performs well, ranking 502 out of 752 New Jersey middle schools and achieving a 100% proficiency rate in 8th grade Algebra I. Meanwhile, Memorial High School stands out for its relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91.3% and low dropout rate of 1.0%, despite having the lowest statewide ranking in the district.

However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, and large achievement gaps compared to state averages, particularly in math and science proficiency. These issues suggest that students in the West New York School District may be facing significant socioeconomic challenges that impact their educational outcomes, and addressing these disparities will be crucial for improving the overall quality of education in the district.
