Summary:
The schools in the 07438 zip code, part of the Jefferson Township Public School District and the West Milford Township Public School District, serve a predominantly white student population across 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, including the exceptional Academy for Environmental Science.
The Academy for Environmental Science, a specialized high school, stands out with its 5-star rating, exceptional science test scores, low chronic absenteeism, and high graduation rate. Meanwhile, Jefferson Township Middle School impresses with its strong performance in Algebra I, with 91.6% of 8th graders proficient or better, compared to the state average of 66%.
While the schools generally perform well, with graduation rates ranging from 91.7% to 93.9%, there is room for improvement in ensuring consistent educational quality and outcomes across the district. The relatively low free/reduced lunch rates suggest the community may be relatively affluent, which could impact the resources and support available to the schools. Promoting diversity and inclusion in the school community is also an area for potential focus.
