NJ School Rankings out

By Julie Allen On Nov 7, 2014

Wonderful news this morning in the feed of the Banana Tree. NJ elementary school rankings are out and here is how we ranked out of 1238:

Clara E. Coleman – 12th

Alexander Hamilton – 28th

Central School – 46th

Richard E. Byrd School – 75th

For the Middle School ranks:

Glen Rock Middle School – 26th out of 688

Glen Rock High School 56 out of 411

In Newsweek, Glen Rock High School was named 76th out of the top 500 High Schools in the country.

Way to go GR! but here is my question: why are all the elementary schools so far apart in ranking – what is different in each school to cause that and how can we fix this?

Update from Dr. Valenti,

It appears that SchoolDigger is an independent website that conducts reviews after researching the school testing data.
