Summary:
The Upper Saddle River School District in New Jersey has one middle school, Emil A. Cavallini Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 381 students. The school district as a whole is ranked 22 out of 613 districts in New Jersey and is rated 5 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Emil A. Cavallini Middle School stands out for its consistently high academic performance, with students scoring well above the state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics on the NJSLA assessments. The school's Algebra I performance is particularly impressive, with 100% of students scoring proficient or better on the end-of-course assessment, compared to the state average of 39.7%. While the school's science proficiency rates are not as high as its ELA and Mathematics performance, they are still significantly above the state average.
The school's low chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% and its low percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (0.79%) suggest a focus on student engagement and a relatively affluent student population. The school has maintained exceptional academic standards, ranking among the top middle schools in New Jersey over the past three years. However, the school's low percentage of students from low-income backgrounds raises questions about its ability to address the needs of a more diverse student population and ensure equitable educational opportunities.
