Summary:
ZIP code 07010 has one listed middle school, School #6/Middle School in Cliffside Park, serving grades 5–8 and enrolling 679 students. Its clearest strength is English language arts: the school averaged 57% across grades 5–8 in 2025–26, 4 percentage points above the state average. Its most important concern is grade 8 mathematics, where 19% were proficient, 4 points below the state and down 11 points from the prior year.
Because this is the only school in the list, there are no meaningful top-versus-bottom school comparisons. Within the school, results vary by subject and grade: grade 6 ELA was strongest at 63%, while grade 8 ELA was 54%; in math, grade 5 led at 42% and grade 8 was lowest at 19%, a 24-point spread between grades. The school’s 2025–26 Algebra I result was a standout: 80%, compared with 40% statewide in the end-of-course category and 75% statewide in the separate 8th-grade category. Science was weaker overall, averaging 18% across grades 5 and 8, compared with 23% statewide.
Recent results show improvement relative to the state in ELA, but not across the board. The school’s ELA average rose from 56% to 57% between 2024–25 and 2025–26, while the state average fell from 56% to 53%; its advantage widened from 1 point to 4. Math moved the other way: the school average fell from 35% to 34% as the state rose from 36% to 37%. Algebra I remained above the state but fell from 100% to 80%. SchoolDigger lists the school at the 55th percentile with 3 stars for 2025–26; its previous two entries were at the 57th percentile with 3 stars. As context, in 2024–25, 68% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible, the student–teacher ratio was 11.7, and chronic absenteeism was 15%, compared with 14% in the Cliffside Park School District and statewide. With only one school listed, the data cannot support school-to-school comparisons.
