The Woodcliff Lake Public Schools is a community public school district that serves students in Kindergarten through eighth grade from Woodcliff Lake, in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States.
Since Woodcliff Lake does not have its own high school, Woodcliff Lake and Montvale students attend Pascack Hills High School as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Pascack Valley Regional High School District. Pascack Hills does not offer sports such as hockey and lacrosse. Therefore, students who participate in those sports play for another nearby school, Pascack Valley High School, also in the same school district.
The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "J", the highest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.
As of the 2009-10 school year, the district's two schools had an enrollment of 849 students and 74 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.47.
