Summary:
The city of Upper Saddle River, New Jersey is home to three high-performing schools: Emil A. Cavallini Middle School, Edith A. Bogert Elementary School, and Robert D Reynolds Primary School. These schools, part of the Upper Saddle River School District, consistently rank among the top schools in New Jersey, with exceptional academic performance and a strong commitment to student success.
The standout school in the district is Emil A. Cavallini Middle School, which has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and has been ranked among the top 25-34 middle schools in the state over the past three school years. The school's test scores are significantly higher than the state averages, with over 75% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. Additionally, the school's Algebra I proficiency rates are exceptional, with 100% of students scoring proficient or better on the end-of-course and 8th-grade assessments.
While the schools in Upper Saddle River demonstrate outstanding academic performance, the data also reveals some areas for potential improvement. All three schools have higher-than-desired chronic absenteeism rates, and the low rates of free/reduced lunch recipients suggest that the benefits of these high-performing schools may not be equally accessible to all students in the community. However, the district's investment in resources, as evidenced by the high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, suggests a strong commitment to providing a quality education for all students.
