100 Best Public Elementary Schools In New Jersey for 2019

Despite an uncertain fiscal future for New Jersey, one of its main selling points still remains. New Jersey has some great schools, particularly at the elementary level. Niche.com recently released its ranking of the top elementary schools in the Garden State.

Similar to the ranking of the state's best high schools, North Jersey controlled the top of the list, particularly Millburn. The Essex County community has four schools in the top 10. But there were a number of Central Jersey, South Jersey and Jersey Shore schools on the list.

Niche, a website for researching schools, said "The 2019 Best Public Elementary Schools ranking is based on rigorous analysis of key statistics and millions of reviews from students and parents using data from the U.S. Department of Education. Ranking factors include state test scores, student-teacher ratio, student diversity, teacher quality, grade school ratings, and the overall quality of the school district.
