Summary:
The 07010 zip code in Cliffside Park, New Jersey is home to 5 schools serving grades K-12, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools are part of the Cliffside Park School District, which is ranked 283 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Among the schools in the zip code, School #3 stands out with the highest SchoolDigger star rating (4 out of 5) and relatively strong test scores, with 68.4% of 3rd graders and 65.3% of 4th graders proficient or better in math. School #5 also impresses with the lowest student-teacher ratio at 9.9 and strong English Language Arts test scores, with 72.7% of 4th graders proficient or better.
However, the data also reveals some areas of concern, such as the high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% across all schools, which may be contributing to lower test scores, particularly at Cliffside Park High School. Additionally, there are significant disparities in test scores between the high school and the middle/elementary schools, suggesting a need for better alignment of curriculum and instruction across grade levels. The wide range in per-student spending, from $11,311 at the high school to $17,165 at School #3, also raises questions about resource allocation and equity within the district.
