Summary:
ZIP code 07940 has five public schools serving elementary through high school: three elementary schools, one middle school and one high school, with 2,364 students in all. The latest results are for 2025–2026, and the overall picture is strong compared with New Jersey: elementary and middle school averages are well above state averages in both ELA and math. Most importantly, every reported elementary and middle school result is higher than its matched state result.

Madison Junior School stands out in middle school results and ranks 51st of 743 New Jersey middle schools according to SchoolDigger.
