“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.
