Summary:
Schools in zip code 07660 include four public schools in the Ridgefield Park Public School District: three elementary schools serving pre-K through grade 6 and one junior-senior high school serving grades 7–12. In 2025–2026, the elementary schools’ combined averages were above grade-matched state results in ELA (53% versus 49%) and math (51% versus 46%), but below the state in grade 5 science (25% versus 27%). The most important finding is that those averages hide substantial differences from one school, grade, and subject to another.
Lincoln Elementary School stands out overall, averaging 56% in grades 3–6 ELA and 58% in math—7 and 13 percentage points above the corresponding state averages. But there is no single school that leads in every subject: Grant Elementary School led grade 3 math at 65%, 16 points above the state, yet scored 32% in grade 5 ELA, 20 points below it. Roosevelt Elementary School led local grade 5 science at 30%, 3 points above the state, but had the lowest elementary math average, 38%, or 7 points below the state. The grade 6 math results show how sharply outcomes can differ: Lincoln scored 78% and Roosevelt 26%, a 52-point gap. At the high school, grade 8 Algebra I was a strength at 83%, 8 points above the state; grade 10 Algebra I was 14 points below it.
Recent changes are mixed rather than pointing in one direction: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the elementary average fell 4 points in ELA, rose 2 in math, and fell 10 in grade 5 science. High-school grade 9 Algebra I rose 18 points to 28%, while Geometry fell 27 points to 44%. SchoolDigger’s reported percentile rose 10 points for the high school from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, reaching 47; Lincoln rose 6 points to 61, while Roosevelt fell 7 to 49 and Grant fell 8 to 54. For context, 2024–2025 student–teacher ratios at the elementary schools ranged from 8.2 to 9.8. Their 2024–2025 **free/reduced lunch eligible** shares were 54% at Lincoln, 49% at Roosevelt, and 65% at Grant—context that does not by itself explain their different results.
