Summary

Northvale Public School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Northvale Public School District, which is ranked 121 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. With 534 students, Northvale Public School consistently outperforms the state average on NJSLA assessments across all grade levels and subjects, with 80.3% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA and 82.2% proficient in math, compared to the state averages of 44.9% and 49.8%, respectively.

The school also has relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 5.8% to 16.6% in recent years, compared to the state average of around 15-17%. Additionally, Northvale Public School maintains a low student-teacher ratio of around 10 students per teacher, which is lower than many nearby schools. However, the school's performance varies significantly by student subgroup, with Haworth Public School and Meadowbrook Elementary in Hillsdale outperforming Northvale on many NJSLA metrics, especially in math.

While Northvale Public School spends $14,135 per student, which is higher than the state average but lower than some nearby high-performing schools like Harrington Park School ($16,559 per student) and Roberge Elementary ($14,173 per student), the school's strong academic performance suggests that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to its success.
