Summary:
The city of Cresskill, New Jersey is home to a high-performing school district with 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school. The district is led by two standout schools: Edward H. Bryan Elementary School, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, and Cresskill High School, which is also ranked as one of the best high schools in New Jersey.
Edward H. Bryan Elementary School boasts exceptional academic performance, with 61-82% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 68-90% proficient or better in Mathematics across grades 3-5. The school also has a very low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 0.56%, indicating a relatively affluent student population, and a high student-teacher ratio of 12.4, suggesting smaller class sizes and more individualized attention. Cresskill High School also stands out, with a graduation rate of 91.1%, a low dropout rate of 1.2%, and strong performance in English Language Arts and advanced math courses.
Overall, the schools in Cresskill Public School District generally outperform the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. However, the district may benefit from examining potential equity concerns, as the low percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients across the schools suggest a lack of socioeconomic diversity and may indicate the need to ensure all students have access to the same educational opportunities, regardless of their background.
