Summary

Carlstadt Public School serves 478 students in prekindergarten through eighth grade in Carlstadt, New Jersey. Its results vary considerably by grade and subject: ELA and average math proficiency are above state levels, while some individual grades lag. The clearest contrast is in the middle grades: Algebra I proficiency is 100%, but eighth-grade science proficiency is just 10%.

The school is strongest in Algebra I and fifth-grade math, and its overall ELA and math averages also edge out the state. In 2025–2026, ELA averaged 56%, versus 51% statewide, and math averaged 44%, versus 40%. But third-grade math is a notable weak spot: 38% were proficient, compared with 49% statewide and a 56% average among nearby schools reporting results; only one of the nine schools in that comparison scored lower. Fifth-grade math was stronger, at 57%, compared with a 45% nearby-school average. Eighth-grade science was also below the state: 10% versus 19%. The supplied test results for the school and the Carlstadt Public School District are identical.

Results have shifted over time: the ELA average fell 4 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, while math rose 4 points and was essentially unchanged in the latest year. SchoolDigger places the school at the 59th percentile statewide with 3 stars, fifth among nine nearby schools ranked that year. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 10.6, the second-lowest locally among schools with reported ratios; 44% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings also indicate strong relative standing for English Language Learner Students, at the 86th percentile. Its Special Education Students ranking fell from the 81st percentile in 2024–2025 to the 48th in 2025–2026, a substantial change worth asking about.
