Summary

Wesley D Tisdale Elementary School serves 302 students in prekindergarten through grade 3 in Ramsey, New Jersey. The available test results show third graders performing well above New Jersey averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and math, though below the Ramsey School District in both subjects. The most important caution for families is that math, while strong statewide, is a relative weakness compared with the district and nearby schools.

ELA is Tisdale’s stronger local result: its 75% proficiency was about the nearby-school average, and it tied Hillside Elementary School and Betsy Ross Elementary, placing in a tie for third among eight schools with results. Tisdale’s ELA score was 27 percentage points above the state, but 5 points below the district. In math, 72% proficiency was 23 points above the state but 7 points below the district and 8 points below the nearby-school average; Tisdale ranked sixth among those eight schools. Its math result was below five nearby schools and above two, including Wandell School and Lenape Meadows.

ELA has risen from 51% in 2022–2023 to 75% in 2025–2026, a gain of 24 percentage points, while math edged down from 73% to 72%. SchoolDigger ranks Tisdale 155th of 1,331 statewide, at the 88th percentile with 4 stars; the district ranks 48th of 607, at the 92nd percentile with 5 stars. A notable SchoolDigger subgroup result is its 96th-percentile standing for Low Socio Economic Status Students in 2025–2026, up from the 48th percentile in 2017–2018 and above the school’s overall 88th percentile. Tisdale’s 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 10.2, close to the nearby average of 10.4. Its free/reduced lunch eligible share was 16% that year, higher than all but one nearby school with a comparable figure; this is context, not an explanation for test results.
