The Jersey City Schools system operates 39 schools, including 13 grammar schools, which serve grades Pre-K through eight. Niche, a ranking and review website that recently published its rankings of the best public school districts in the country, also created lists of “standout” schools that have achieved high academic success for their students. These rankings consider various factors, including overall student-teacher ratios and the percentages of economically disadvantaged students and students with special needs.
Niche considers the schools it ranks “best” based on their academics, teachers, and diversity. It also looks at their overall rankings, which include the number of students who graduate and the percentage of those who are proficient in math and reading.
For example, if a school has an SAT average of 1230 or more, it is considered to be a high-performing school. Similarly, if a school has more than half its students taking advanced placement courses, it is considered a top college prep school.
Some schools on the list have a long history of achieving impressive results. Many national organizations have recognized them as outstanding for years, including the National Blue Ribbon Schools.
