HISTORY
The community was originally incorporated as the borough of Riverside by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on June 30, 1894, from portions of Midland Township, based on the results of a referendum held the previous day. On December 1, 1930, the borough's name was changed to River Edge. The borough was formed during the "Boroughitis" phenomenon then sweeping through Bergen County, in which 26 boroughs were formed in the county in 1894 alone. The borough was named for its location along the Hackensack River.
Education
River Edge has two primary schools as part of the River Edge Elementary School District, both of which served students in Kindergarten through sixth grade until a kindergarten facility annexed onto Cherry Hill, the New Bridge Center, was opened in 2007 and the elementary schools became 1-6 schools. River Edge has two primary schools as part of the district, both of which serve students in first through sixth grade. As of the 2017–18 school year, the district, comprised of two schools, had an enrollment of 1,183 students and 89.9 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 13.2:1. Schools in the district (with 2017-18 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics[93]) are New Bridge Center (NA; PreK-K), Cherry Hill School (711 students in grades 1-6; previously PreK-6) which is on the south side of the borough and Roosevelt School (483 students in grades 1-6; 455 students) which is located on the north side of the borough.
River Edge and neighboring Oradell share a combined public school district for seventh through twelfth grades, River Dell Regional School District which was established in 1958.[98][99][100] Schools in the district (with 2017-18 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics[101]) are River Dell Regional Middle School in River Edge (with 571 students in grades 7-8) and River Dell Regional High School in Oradell (with 1,064 students in grades 9-12).
Public school students from the borough, and all of Bergen County, are eligible to attend the secondary education programs offered by the Bergen County Technical Schools, which include the Bergen County Academies in Hackensack, and the Bergen Tech campus in Teterboro or Paramus. The district offers programs on a shared-time or full-time basis, with admission based on a selective application process and tuition covered by the student's home school district.
St. Peter Academy is a K-8 Catholic school that operates under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark.[108] The school was one of eight private schools recognized in 2017 as an Exemplary High Performing School by the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program of the United States Department of Education.
The Rosenbaum Yeshiva of North Jersey, which served 1,040 students in nursery through eighth grade as of the start of the September 2013 school year, was founded as the Yeshiva of Hudson County, and was re-established in Bergen County in 1979.
