You mean Northern Bergen County, or North Bergen the town?
In Northern Bergen County, all of the towns have well-regarded school systems. (north of Paramus, not saying there aren't good ones south too, just talking North for now).
Yes, in NJ, a student has to go to the schools that they are zoned for, barring a very few charters/magnet schools. There is basically no school choice, and in Northern Bergen County that is especially true. However, the schools are all quite good.
