Summary

Stony Lane Elementary School serves 223 students in grades K–4 in Paramus, with several nearby elementary schools offering useful comparisons. Its 2025–2026 results are above state proficiency rates but below the district in all four tested grade-and-subject comparisons, and it ranks last or near last among nearby schools.

The school’s strongest comparison is with the state: averaging grades 3 and 4, proficiency was 57% in ELA and 62% in math, about 10 and 14 percentage points above state averages. But those averages were about 10 and 6 points below the Paramus Public School District. Locally, results were weaker: Stony Lane had the lowest ELA grade 3 and math grade 4 rates among 10 nearby schools, was second-lowest in ELA grade 4, and third-lowest in math grade 3. Fourth-grade ELA stands out: 51% were proficient, compared with a nearby-school average of 70%.

Results have declined over the longer term: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, the equal-grade averages fell by 4 percentage points in ELA and 9 in math. More recently, fourth-grade ELA dropped 25 points from 2024–2025, while fourth-grade math rose 17 points. SchoolDigger rates the school at the 68th percentile and 3 stars, down from the 79th percentile and 4 stars in 2022–2023; all 10 nearby schools rank higher. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 11.1, compared with a nearby-school mean of 11.9, and 14% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings also show notable differences in how well the school serves student groups: Asian students ranked at the 15th percentile, compared with 68th overall, and special education students at the 25th percentile, down from 77th in 2024–2025.
