Summary:
ZIP code 07093 has nine schools serving grades from prekindergarten through high school: seven elementary schools, one middle school and one high school. The elementary schools’ latest comparable results are below state averages in English language arts (ELA), math and science: about 40% versus 49% in ELA, 34% versus 46% in math, and 11% versus 27% in grade 5 science. The clearest overall finding is that elementary science has the largest average gap from the state.
Albio Sires Elementary School and Public School Number Two lead the elementary schools overall: their equal-weight averages across grades 3–6 ELA and math are about 45% and 43%, compared with 28% at Public School Number Five—a 17-point difference. Results vary by grade: Number Three reaches 62% in grade 5 math, while Harry L Bain has 22%, a 40-point spread. Eighth-grade Algebra I is a standout at Anna L. Klein (95%) and West New York Middle School (94%), versus 75% statewide.
Recent elementary trends differ: Sires’ four-grade ELA and math averages rose about 6 and 5 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while Number Five’s fell about 9 and 7 points and Bain’s about 7 and 6. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rankings also rose for Sires (32 to 44) and Klein (17 to 31), but fell for Number Five (31 to 20). Context measures do not tell the same story as test results: for 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 77% at Number Two and 94% at Number Five, while Number Two had the highest elementary chronic absenteeism, at 19%. Elementary student-teacher ratios ranged from 10.3:1 at Klein to 15.5:1 at Bain. At Memorial High School, ninth-grade Geometry proficiency reached 67%, above the 50% state rate, but grade 9 ELA was 39% versus 51% statewide.
