Schools in Zip Code 07086

Zip code 07086 has three schools serving preK through grade 12: Daniel Webster School (preK–2), Theodore Roosevelt School (grades 3–6), and Weehawken High School (grades 7–12). The most important takeaway is that results vary by grade and subject, so a single “best school” label would miss meaningful differences in students’ experiences.

Roosevelt stands out in elementary ELA: its 2025–26 average across grades 3–6 was 59%, compared with 49% statewide, a 10-point lead. It was above the state in grades 3, 5, and 6, including a 21-point lead in grade 3, while grade 4 was essentially even. Its math average was 49% versus 45% statewide, but grade-level results split: 15 points above the state in grade 3 and 13 points above in grade 6, but 5 points below in grade 4 and 9 below in grade 5. At the high school, NJSLA ELA was near the state average overall, while math was weaker: grades 7–8 averaged 22% proficient versus 30% statewide, about 9 points lower. Course results also varied, from 26 points below the state in grade 8 Algebra I to 14 points above in grade 8 Geometry. Webster has no reported test results, so the data cannot support a fair test-score ranking across all three schools.

Trends are mixed rather than uniformly improving: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, Roosevelt’s average ELA fell by 8 points, while its math average rose by 11; the high school’s NJSLA ELA average rose by 1 point, but its math average fell by 2. SchoolDigger percentile positions improved over those years, from 41 to 58 for Roosevelt and from 38 to 49 for the high school, but those rankings do not mean every test result improved. In 2024–25, free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 49% at Roosevelt, 53% at the high school, and 47% at Webster; student–teacher ratios were 8.9, 12, and 9, respectively. High-school graduation was 97% versus 89% statewide, alongside chronic absenteeism of 20% versus 14%; Roosevelt and Webster also had absenteeism above the state rate, at 18% and 20%.
