This standout school consistently outperforms state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, ranking 25th out of 1,317 New Jersey elementary schools and earning a 5-star rating from School Digger.

Harrington Park School's diverse student population, with 55.28% white, 30.73% Asian, 6.34% Hispanic, and 0.98% African American students, contributes to its academic success and prepares students for an increasingly global world. The school's low chronic absenteeism rate of 7.3% and extremely low free/reduced lunch rate of 0.49% suggest a high-performing, well-resourced institution that is investing significantly in its students' education, with a per-student spending of $16,559 in the 2018-2019 school year.

While Harrington Park School's exceptional academic performance and resource allocation are commendable, the low free/reduced lunch rate may raise questions about equity and access to high-quality education for students from lower-income backgrounds in the district. Nevertheless, the school's consistent high ranking and 5-star rating over the years demonstrate a sustained commitment to excellence and a quality of education that is worthy of further exploration for parents seeking the best educational opportunities for their children.
