Summary:
The Paramus Public School District in New Jersey is home to 5 high-performing elementary schools that consistently rank among the top in the state. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade, providing a strong foundation for academic success.
Midland Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 139th out of 1,338 New Jersey elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year. With impressive test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.1, Midland provides an exceptional educational experience. Memorial Elementary School is another high-performing school, ranking 159th in the state and excelling in Mathematics.
While all 5 schools in the district perform well above state averages, they share a common challenge of higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates. The district may want to investigate the root causes of this issue and implement strategies to improve student attendance. Additionally, the relatively low percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds suggests the district serves a relatively affluent population, which may contribute to the strong academic performance observed across the schools.
