The Saddle River School District is a community public school district that serves students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade from Saddle River, in Bergen County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[3][4]

As of the 2022–23 school year, the district, comprised of one school, had an enrollment of 115 students and 16.4 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 7.0:1.[1] In the 2016–17 school year, Saddle River was tied for the 28th-smallest enrollment of any school district in the state, with 150 students.[5]

The district was classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "J", the-highest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.[6]

Public school students from Saddle River attend the Ramsey Public School District's middle school and then have the option of attending either Ramsey High School or Northern Highlands Regional High School as part of sending/receiving relationships with each of the respective districts.[7][8][9][10][11][12] As of the 2018–19 school year, Northern Highlands High School had an enrollment of 1,377 students and 110.4 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.5:1.[13] while Ramsey High School had an enrollment of 870 students and 80.4 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.8:1.[14] One of under ten districts with a dual send-receive relationship, three quarters of Saddle River's high school students attend Northern Highlands and about a quarter attend Ramsey High School.[15]

Schools

[edit]

Wandell School served 162 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade as of the 2018–19 school year.[16]

Administration

[edit]

Core members of the district's administration are:[17]

  • Gina Cinotti, superintendent and principal[18]
  • Tom Duane, board secretary and business administrator

Board of education

[edit]

The district's board of education, comprised of five members, sets policy and oversees the fiscal and educational operation of the district through its administration. As a Type II school district, the board's trustees are elected directly by voters to serve three-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with either one or two seats up for election each year held (since 2012) as part of the November general election. The board appoints a superintendent to oversee the district's day-to-day operations and a business administrator to supervise the business functions of the district.[19][20][21]

As of 2012, school elections were shifted from April to the November general election as part of an effort to reduce the costs of a standalone April vote.[22]

About 15 years ago, Saddle River formed dual send-receive relationships allowing students in grades 9-12 to choose between Ramsey and Northern Highlands high schools, both upscale districts as well. Fred Palumbo, the school business administrator in Saddle River, told the New Jersey Herald in a phone conversation about it last year that the arrangement has worked well, with an estimated 70-75 percent of students choosing Northern Highlands and the remaining 25-30 percent opting to remain in Ramsey."
