Summary:
The 07010 zip code is home to a single middle school, School #6/Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. This school is part of the Cliffside Park School District, which is ranked 283 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
School #6/Middle School has seen a slight decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, going from 304 out of 748 New Jersey middle schools in 2022-2023 to 320 out of 752 in 2024-2025. The school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average. Test scores at the school are mixed, with ELA proficiency ranging from 52-65.6%, math proficiency ranging from 30-41.3%, and science proficiency ranging from 17.9-21.4%. However, the school's Algebra I proficiency is very high at 100% for both the school and district.
Despite these challenges, School #6/Middle School appears to be a relatively average-performing middle school, with some strengths and weaknesses compared to district and state averages. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 58.89%, suggests that it serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to some of the academic challenges observed. With only one middle school in the 07010 zip code, families in the area have limited options for public middle school education, which may be an area of interest for further analysis or policy considerations.
