Thanks so much for any information.

In terms of performance, all elementary schools are pretty much the same. Schools are overcrowded, however it does not seem to effect performance too much. After all, Ridgewood is one of the best school districts in the area, if not the state.
In terms of affordability, Willard and Ridge school areas (both are elementary schools) are considered more expensive, especially Ridge. The area near Grove Street seems to be more "affordable". Also, if you look on the east side of Rt 17, you might get more for your money, probably because that area is further away from everything.
Hope this helps.
