Elmwood Park provides recreational opportunities with its swimming pool, tennis courts, and walking track. The East Orange Campus High School stands on the historic grounds of the former Upsala College, while the Whitney E. Houston Academy of Creative & Performing Arts honors the legendary singer's local roots. Two NJ Transit train stations offer direct service to New York City, making the area particularly accessible for commuters.

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.
