Summary:

The 07512 zip code in Totowa, New Jersey is home to a single public elementary school, Memorial School, which serves grades PK-3. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance has declined in recent years, with significantly lower proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the New Jersey state averages.

Memorial School's statewide ranking has dropped from 710 out of 1,342 New Jersey elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1,105 out of 1,347 in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 2 stars to 1 star during this period. Only 24.4% of 3rd-graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and 33% were proficient or better in Math, compared to state averages of 44.9% and 49.8%, respectively. The school also has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%.

Despite higher per-student spending than the state average, Memorial School's academic performance and other key metrics suggest that the Totowa Public School District may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the challenges facing this elementary school and improve student outcomes.
