About Intervale Elementary School
Intervale Elementary School serves 276 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Boonton, New Jersey, as part of the Parsippany-Troy Hills Township School District. MySchoolScout rates it Exceptional with a composite score of 9.2 out of 10, driven by a 9.4 academic score and a standout 9.6 growth score — meaning students here gain ground faster than at nearly every other school in the state. The numbers bear that out.
Intervale ranks #1 among all 14 schools in its district and sits at #20 out of 1,496 elementary schools statewide, outperforming 99% of New Jersey public schools.
