Summary

School #14 is a 355-student elementary school in Clifton, New Jersey, serving pre-K through grade 5 as part of the Clifton Public School District. Its clearest concern is grade 5: students scored 29% proficient in ELA and 19% in math, well below nearby-school averages of 49% and 45%, respectively.

Grades 3 and 4 are stronger, especially compared with nearby Clifton schools, but performance varies by grade. Across grades 3–5, the school averaged 41% in ELA and 39% in math, higher than district averages of 34% and 35%, but below state averages of 49% and 47%. Its grade 3 and 4 results were above nearby-school averages in both subjects; in grade 4, scores were also above state levels, at 50% in ELA and 53% in math. Grade 5 is the reversal: its ELA and math scores were 20 and 26 points below nearby-school averages. Grade 5 science was another weak result at 12% proficient, versus 17% districtwide, 27% statewide, and a 27% average among nearby schools.

Results have declined overall: the equal-grade ELA average fell from 44% in 2022–2023 to 41% in 2025–2026, while math fell from 42% to 39%; the school’s gaps below state averages widened to 8 points in ELA and 9 in math. SchoolDigger ranked the school 883rd of 1,331 New Jersey schools, at the 34th percentile with 2 stars; its overall percentile was 59 in 2018–2019. Context includes a 9.4 students-per-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, the second-lowest among seven nearby Clifton schools, and 63% free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students was at the 58th percentile in 2025–2026, above the school’s overall 34th percentile. Its ranking for Special Education Students rose from the 18th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 44th in 2025–2026, a marked improvement in relative standing.
