Best Public Schools in Zip Code 07012


Summary:

The 07012 zip code area of Clifton, New Jersey is home to two elementary schools, School #9 and School #14, which are part of the Clifton Public School District. Based on the available data, School #9 appears to be the higher-performing school in the area, outperforming the district and state in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across grades 3-5.

School #9 is ranked in the top 36% of New Jersey elementary schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, while School #14 is ranked in the bottom 41% and has a 2-star rating. Additionally, School #9 has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (40.78%) compared to School #14 (67.58%), indicating a lower proportion of economically disadvantaged students. School #9 also has a more favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.4, compared to 11.6 at School #14.

However, the Clifton Public School District as a whole is underperforming compared to the state, with both schools in the 07012 zip code area struggling to meet state proficiency levels in several subject areas. The high chronic absenteeism rates at both schools (16.6%) also suggest a need to address attendance and engagement issues, which could be impacting academic performance. The relatively low spending per student (around $13,500) at both schools, compared to the state average, may be a contributing factor to the district's and schools' underperformance.
