Summary:
The Saddle Brook School District in New Jersey consists of 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 combined middle/high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools within the district, with socioeconomic factors potentially playing a significant role in the academic outcomes of the students.
Among the standout schools, Salome H. Long Memorial School stands out with the highest performance on state assessments, the highest state-wide ranking among the Saddle Brook elementary schools, and the lowest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively higher socioeconomic status of the student population. Similarly, Washington School, the smallest school in the district, has the lowest student-teacher ratio and the lowest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
In contrast, the Saddle Brook Middle/High School outperforms the state average in most subject areas and grade levels, particularly in Algebra I and Geometry, while the elementary schools generally perform below the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The district's graduation rate of 90.3% and a relatively low dropout rate of 1.4% at the high school level are positive indicators, but the schools show inconsistent performance, with some grades and subjects exceeding the state average and others falling significantly behind.
