Good schools in Nutley, Lyndhurst, Rutherford or neighboring areas (pre-schools, college)

Hi,
Can anybody recommend me good elementary schools for Nutley and surrounding areas? Public or private..

Also the cut-off date for a kid to start school is 5 years ..is there any exception to it? Like if the kid has been attending pre-schools on regular basis?
Thanks.

All the elementary schools are good in Nutley although you will hear differently from people who's children go to the more so called elite elementary publics. (in the wealthier areas of Nutley) My children attended an elementary school in Nutley that is not as highly ranked as some of the others. I noticed that in their graduating class they made up a big majority of the top ranked students so there may be varying reasons one school ranked higher than another. My children both excelled at both the middle school, hs and college so I am a very happy parent of the Nutley School System. All of my friends feel the same.

Can someone please tell more about the private schools in Nutley?
