Glen Rock Elementary Schools Ranked Among The Best In N.J.

GLEN ROCK, NJ — The borough's elementary schools were ranked among the best in the state recently.

Niche.com released its annual rankings of the best elementary schools in the country and throughout New Jersey. (Click here for the full list.)

Niche examined data from the U.S. Department of Education, along with test scores, college data and ratings from Niche users. The methodology for each ranking varied. (Click here for more information on how Niche calculates its rankings.)

According to Niche, Glen Rock schools were ranked as follows:

• 63rd: Alexander Hamilton School
• 70th: Clara E. Coleman School
• 94th: Richard E. Byrd School
• 134th: The Central School

Niche assigns a standardized score for each factor, which is then weighted before an overall score is calculated for each school district. The overall scores are again standardized, and some districts are disqualified from receiving a final letter grade if there isn’t enough data. School districts are then ranked numerically and assigned grades.
