Summary

Salome H. Long Memorial School is an elementary school in Saddle Brook, New Jersey, serving 309 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Saddle Brook School District, which is ranked 277 out of 609 districts in the state.

Salome H. Long Memorial School is a strong-performing school, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts and Mathematics. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly higher than the district and state, with 6th-grade students outperforming their peers by over 10 percentage points. The school's performance for Hispanic and Special Education students is particularly noteworthy, with these subgroups ranking in the top 5% and top 10% of New Jersey elementary schools, respectively.

This trend is in contrast to the school's historical performance, as it was previously ranked in the top 30% of New Jersey elementary schools for student attendance. While Salome H. Long Memorial School outperforms other schools in the Saddle Brook district, it lags behind the high-performing elementary schools in the Fair Lawn Public School District.
