SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 1,331 New Jersey Elementary Schools

Better than 16% of New Jersey elementary schools

Summary

Dr. John Grieco Elementary School enrolls 499 students in grades 1–3 in Englewood, New Jersey. Its latest available test results are for third grade. The central concern is that its third graders performed well below the state and ranked lowest among the nearby schools with comparable results.

In 2025–2026, about 30% of Grieco third graders were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) and 27% in math, compared with 48% and 49% statewide. Results were nearly identical to those in the Englewood Public School District. Among seven nearby schools with third-grade results, Grieco was lowest in both subjects; those schools averaged 65% in ELA and 61% in math, putting Grieco 35 and 34 percentage points below those averages. Available test results are for third grade only.

ELA proficiency declined from 36% in 2024–2025 to 30% in 2025–2026, while math stayed around 27%; Grieco’s ELA gap with the state widened from 9 to 19 percentage points. SchoolDigger ranked Grieco at the 16th statewide percentile with 1 star in 2025–2026, the lowest ranking among nearby schools with rankings. At the same time, its 10.0 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025 was the lowest among nearby schools reporting a ratio, and its enrollment was the largest. Free/reduced lunch eligible students made up 78% of the school in 2024–2025, above the nearby comparison schools with reported figures, including 71% at Donald A. Quarles Early Childhood Center. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for English Language Learner Students was notably higher than Grieco’s overall ranking: the group ranked at the 56th percentile versus the 16th percentile overall. Its ranking for Special Education Students fell from the 37th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 4th percentile in 2025–2026.

Englewood has a dynamic new Superintendent and has over the past several years made major improvements throughout the school system. This system is very close to scoring 1500 on the high school combined SAT and this particular elementary school is a recently built state of the art facility. Close Quote
