Summary:

The 07078 zip code in New Jersey is home to three exceptional elementary schools - Hartshorn School, Deerfield School, and Glenwood School - all part of the highly-ranked Millburn Township School District.

Among the three schools, Glenwood School stands out as an exceptional institution, consistently ranking among the top 5 elementary schools in New Jersey. In the 2024-2025 school year, Glenwood School is ranked 5th out of 1,347 elementary schools in the state, with exceptional test scores - 91.4% of 3rd graders and 97.6% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, and 88% of 3rd graders and 100% of 4th graders proficient or better in Mathematics. Glenwood School's academic performance consistently outpaces the Millburn Township School District and the state of New Jersey averages.

While all three schools in the 07078 zip code demonstrate strong academic performance, the data suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing levels, such as the high-income community, may be contributing to the exceptional results. However, the higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates across the schools are an area that could be further investigated to understand the underlying causes and potential interventions.
