Summary:

Schools in ZIP code 07032 include seven schools in Kearny: five elementary schools serving pre-K–6, one middle school for grades 7–8, and one high school for grades 9–12. Across the five elementary schools, average results were closer to the state in English language arts (ELA) than in math: about 41% versus 49% in ELA, and 29% versus 46% in math. The most important area-wide finding is that elementary math is the clearest shared academic weakness, with all five schools below the state average.

Roosevelt Elementary School stands out across the broadest range: it led in four of the nine elementary grade-and-subject comparisons and averaged 49% in ELA and 38% in math across grades 3–6. Schuyler Elementary School led in grades 4 and 5 ELA and grade 4 math; its grade 5 ELA result was 61%, about 9 points above the state. At the lower end, Garfield Elementary School had the lowest four-grade ELA average, 33%, while Franklin Elementary School had the lowest math average, 24%, and grade 5 science result, 8%. Lincoln Middle School is a notable exception to its below-state results in several subjects: 83% of eighth graders were proficient in Algebra I, about 9 points above the state.

Recent elementary results were mixed: the average ELA result rose about 1 point from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 as the state average fell about 3 points, narrowing the gap; math fell about 3 points while the state rose slightly, and grade 5 science fell about 5 points. Washington Elementary School had the largest ELA-average increase, about 9 points. Context measures do not neatly track results: in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible students were 50% at Roosevelt and 76% at Garfield; their student-teacher ratios were 10.7 and 10.3. SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings rose for Lincoln (26th to 37th percentile) and Washington (19th to 23rd) from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, but fell for the other five schools. At high school, Kearny High School had a 92% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate in 2024–2025, both better than the state, but chronic absenteeism was higher (21% versus 14%) and its listed test results were below state figures.
