While the district has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, two schools in the area stand out as potential standouts: School #9 and Clifton Early Learner Academies - Allwood.
School #9 is ranked 314 out of 1,347 New Jersey elementary schools and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

In contrast, the other schools in the area have more mixed performance, with some grades performing above the district and state, while others are below.
The Clifton Early Learner Academies - Allwood stands out for serving a very economically disadvantaged population, with an extremely high 91.67% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This school also has a concerning student-teacher ratio of 48:1, which may present challenges in providing individualized attention. Additionally, two of the schools in the area, School #14 and School #9, have high chronic absenteeism rates of 14.9%, which is an area of concern that may require further investigation and targeted interventions.
