Summary

Maple Road Elementary School serves 303 students in pre-K through grade 5 in West Milford, within the West Milford Township Public School District. Its results vary sharply by grade: fifth-grade math and science are strengths, while third-grade math is the clearest concern. In 2025–2026, just 23% of third graders were proficient in math, compared with 49% statewide, 56% districtwide, and a 60% average at nearby schools with results.

Fifth-grade math and science stand out positively, but they do not erase weaker results in other grades. Fifth-grade math proficiency was 66%, above the state’s 46%, the district’s 56%, and the 52% average at comparable nearby schools. Fifth-grade science was 39%, compared with 27% statewide, 34% districtwide, and a 28% nearby-school average; only one of the five nearby schools with results scored higher. English language arts was below nearby-school averages in all three grades, though fifth-grade proficiency of 54% was 2 points above the state. Fourth-grade math was also below the state, district, and nearby-school average.

Recent trends are mixed: the average English language arts result across grades fell from 52% in 2022–2023 to 47% in 2025–2026, while math was essentially flat at 43%; fifth-grade science rose 19 points over those years, but its results fluctuated in between. Maple Road Elementary School is at the 49th percentile with 2 stars in SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 rankings, compared with the district’s 53rd percentile and 3 stars; among nearby schools with current rankings, only one is lower. SchoolDigger’s group rankings are notably lower for White students, at the 34th percentile, than the school’s overall 49th percentile, and higher for students receiving special education, at the 62nd percentile. As context, the school’s free/reduced lunch eligible share was 18% in 2024–2025, and its student-teacher ratio was 13.2, the highest among the listed nearby schools.
