Summary:

The 07652 list includes 18 school records: five elementary schools, two middle schools, five high-school records and six alternative schools, serving students from elementary through high school in the Paramus area. The six alternative-school records do not provide usable proficiency comparisons. Across the tested elementary and middle schools, 2025–2026 results were above state figures in the reported comparisons, though scores and recent trends vary by school. The clearest finding for families comparing middle schools is that East Brook Middle School led West Brook Middle School in ELA and math in all four tested grades.

Memorial Elementary School stood out in fourth-grade math, with 80% proficient in 2025–2026, versus 67% at the next-highest schools in the group and 47% statewide. East Brook’s biggest lead over West Brook was eighth-grade math: 74% versus 36%, a 38-point gap. Among high schools, Bergen County Institute for Science and Technology had the strongest available 2025–2026 results: 90% in ninth-grade ELA, 87% in Algebra I and 75% in 11th-grade science. Applied Technology High School was also strong, with 88% in ninth-grade ELA. At the lower end, Paramus High School had 59% in ninth-grade ELA. A separate 288-student Bergen County Technical High School - Paramus record was well below state results in 2024–2025: 10% in ninth-grade ELA, 10% in Algebra I and 5% in 11th-grade science.

Elementary and middle-school averages declined year over year, and their margins over the state narrowed. Elementary averages fell from 74% in 2024–2025 to 67% in 2025–2026, while the state average moved from 49% to 48%; Memorial was an exception, rising 4 points, while Midland Elementary School fell 19 points. Middle-school averages declined 3 points, though both schools remained above state results in the matched comparisons. SchoolDigger ranked East Brook 45th of 743 and Applied Technology 13th of 434 in 2025–2026. As context, East Brook and West Brook had student–teacher ratios of 9.8 and 8.8, and free/reduced lunch eligible shares of 16% and 15%, respectively, in 2024–2025; those measures do not sort the schools’ results into a simple pattern.
