Summary:
ZIP code 07450 has one listed school, Ridge Elementary School, serving 448 students in grades K–5. In 2025–2026, its tested results in grades 3–5 were higher than state results in every reported subject and grade. Its advantage over the state ranged from 28 percentage points in grade 4 ELA to 40 points in grade 5 math, making consistently strong state-relative results the clearest takeaway for families.
Grade 5 math was the school’s strongest result: 86% proficient, compared with 46% statewide. Grade 4 ELA was its lowest, at 74%, but still above the state’s 46%. These results do not mean the school exceeded its district across the board: compared with the Ridgewood Public School District, Ridge was 6 points lower in grade 4 math and 3 points lower in grade 4 ELA. Its grade 3–5 averages were about 80% in ELA, nearly the district’s average, and 81% in math, below the district’s 85%. Because only one school is listed, there are no other ZIP-code schools to compare or rank against it.
Results shifted notably by grade between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026: grade 4 ELA fell 14 points and grade 4 math fell 12, while grade 3 ELA rose 12 and grade 5 math rose 9; grade 5 science declined 2 points.
