Summary

Radburn Elementary School serves 445 students in kindergarten through grade 4 in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, and has the largest enrollment among the 10 nearby schools in this comparison. Its 2025–2026 state test results are strong overall, with mathematics standing out most clearly: Radburn’s grade 3 and grade 4 math proficiency rates were 91% and 84%, respectively. The clearest takeaway is that Radburn’s math results, especially in grade 3, outpace those of local schools.

Mathematics is Radburn’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools, the state, and the Fair Lawn Public School District. Grade 3 math proficiency was 42 points above the state and 10 points above the district; Radburn ranked first among the 11 schools compared, just ahead of the next-highest school. Grade 4 math was 37 points above the state and 7 points above the district, and ranked fifth locally. ELA results also exceeded state and district rates, but were less distinctive among nearby schools: Radburn ranked sixth in grade 3 and fifth in grade 4, with both rates close to local averages. Grade 4 ELA, at 72%, is a particular area to watch.

ELA has declined over time: Radburn’s average across grades 3 and 4 fell 5 points, from 81% in 2022–2023 to 75% in 2025–2026, with grade 4 down 9 points. Even so, the school remains highly ranked: SchoolDigger places it at the 96th percentile, rank 59 of 1,331, with five stars; it was at the 99th percentile in 2023–2024. Other context includes a 13.3 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025, above the nearby-school average of 11.6, and 12% of students free/reduced lunch eligible that year, below the average for other Fair Lawn schools. Chronic absenteeism is low and improved, falling from 6% in 2021–2022 to 2% in 2024–2025, compared with 7% districtwide and 14% statewide.
