Summary

Ridge Ranch Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Paramus, New Jersey, serving 343 students from kindergarten to 4th grade. The school is part of the highly-ranked Paramus Public School District, which is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Ridge Ranch Elementary School consistently outperforms the state average in NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessment) test scores for both English Language Arts and Mathematics across grades 3 and 4. In the 2024-2025 school year, 76.7% of 3rd-grade students and 80.2% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in NJSLA/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 44.9% and 53.6%, respectively. The school also excels in supporting its English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking 27th out of 597 New Jersey elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year.

While Parkway Elementary School and Oradell Public School have outperformed Ridge Ranch Elementary School in certain grade levels and subject areas, Ridge Ranch maintains a strong academic standing within the Paramus Public School District. However, the school's increasing chronic absenteeism rates and the potential lack of socioeconomic diversity are areas that warrant further attention and improvement.
