Best Public Schools in Elizabeth, NJ

Summary:

The city of Elizabeth, New Jersey is home to 35 schools, including 24 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 9 high schools, all part of the Elizabeth Public Schools district. The district is ranked 500 out of 613 districts in New Jersey and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in student outcomes across the district.

However, the data reveals some standout schools within the district. Elizabeth High School - Frank J Cicarell Academy is the highest performing high school, ranking 124 out of 426 high schools in the state and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It boasts strong test scores, with 97% of 9th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and over 50% proficient in Algebra II, Geometry, and Science. At the middle school level, Terence C. Reilly School No 7 and William F. Halloran School No.22 are the top performers, ranking 207 and 153 out of 743 middle schools in New Jersey respectively, both earning 4-star ratings. These schools demonstrate that high academic achievement is possible within the Elizabeth Public Schools district.

Despite these bright spots, the data also reveals significant challenges facing the district as a whole. The district-wide graduation rate is 91.1%, and the dropout rate is 1.2%. Chronic absenteeism is a concern, with a district-wide rate of 16.6%. Performance on state assessments varies widely, with the district lagging behind state averages, though some schools like Victor Mravlag School No. 21 stand out with over 50% proficiency in English Language Arts and Mathematics. These disparities suggest inequities in educational opportunities and resources across the district that need to be addressed.
