Roberge Elementary School

Roberge Elementary School serves 321 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in River Vale, New Jersey. It earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — anchored by a 9.4 academic score and a 9.3 growth score that signal strong outcomes across ability levels, not just at the top. The school ranks 39th out of 2,463 public schools in New Jersey, putting it in the top 2% statewide.

Among New Jersey's 1,496 elementary schools specifically, it holds the 23rd spot — a position that reflects sustained classroom performance across subjects and grade levels rather than one standout metric. Roberge also earns the top rank among all three public schools in River Vale. A student-teacher ratio of 8.9 to 1 sits well below state and national averages, giving teachers genuine capacity to work with students individually.

That access likely contributes to the school's high growth numbers: students don't just enter at strong baseline levels, they keep advancing year over year. For families comparing elementary options in Bergen County, Roberge's combination of academic rigor, measurable growth, and tight staffing ratios makes it one of the strongest concrete choices the data supports.

With a student-teacher ratio of 8.9:1, Roberge Elementary School offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.
