Summary:
The city of Teaneck, New Jersey is home to 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. These schools serve a diverse student population and offer a range of academic programs and resources.
Among the standout schools in Teaneck is the Teaneck Community Charter School, which boasts the highest overall test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across grades 3-8. This charter school also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in the district at 14.5%. Another high-performing school is James Russell Lowell Elementary School, which has the best student-teacher ratio and the highest proficiency rates in ELA and Math for grades 3 and 4.
While the district's schools generally perform well, with Teaneck High School boasting a strong 96.1% four-year graduation rate and a low 0.4% dropout rate, there are some areas of concern. The district's schools exhibit varying levels of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 8.4% to 29.6%, and significant disparities in spending per student, from $5,014 to $10,765. These factors may contribute to the performance gaps observed between the Teaneck Community Charter School and the Teaneck School District's traditional public schools, particularly in Mathematics.
