City - Rockaway

Rockaway is a small suburban borough located thirty miles west of Manhattan along Interstate 80. Picatinny Arsenal sits just north of town, making Rockaway a popular home for military personnel and civilian military employees. A small Downtown district at the corner of Main and Wall Street features a quaint assortment of local businesses in vintage storefronts, while a larger selection of shops and restaurants can be found along Route 46 on the south side of town. Local favorites like The Exchange and Potbelly’s Riverside Café are also scattered throughout the landscape, allowing many residents to walk to their favorite hangouts.

The Rockaway River is lined with parks as it passes through the middle of town, creating an environment perfect for spending a relaxing afternoon amid the region’s lush greenery. The massive Rockaway Town Square shopping center sits just minutes to the west, serving as the area’s hub of shopping, dining, and entertainment.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
