Summary:
The 07424 zip code area is home to 6 elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The schools in this area display a range of academic performance, with some standouts like Little Falls Township Public School #3, which is ranked among the top 226 elementary schools in New Jersey and consistently achieves high proficiency rates on state assessments. In contrast, John P. Holland Charter School has a significantly higher free/reduced lunch rate, which may contribute to its lower academic performance in some areas.
The Little Falls Township Public School District stands out as the highest-performing district in the area, with two of its schools ranking among the top elementary schools in the state. These schools, Little Falls Township Public School #2 and Little Falls Township Public School #3, boast low chronic absenteeism rates, relatively low free/reduced lunch rates, and high spending per student, which may contribute to their strong academic performance.
The data suggests that higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios are associated with better academic outcomes, as seen in the performance of the Little Falls Township Public Schools. However, the consistent chronic absenteeism rate across all schools in the area indicates a potential systemic issue that may need to be addressed at the district or community level.
