In urban New Jersey lies the convenient neighborhood of Downtown Hackensack along Hackensack River. This riverfront oasis is filled with small businesses and community parks. Residents make use of the baseball fields at Foschini Park and the athletic fields and courts at Johnson Park. Though Downtown Hackensack is a metropolitan area, it has an inviting suburban vibe that appeals to families. Downtown Hackensack offers a selection of local restaurants, retailers, and services, but this lively neighborhood has quick and easy access to retail centers like the Outlets at Bergen Town Center and Westfield Garden State Plaza.
Sitting east of the Hudson River, which separates Hackensack from New York City, residents of this downtown district can easily commute to and from the city via train, subway, or vehicle.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. 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.
