The Ramsey Public School District is a comprehensive community public school district that serves students in kindergarten through twelfth grade from Ramsey in Bergen County, New Jersey. Students from Saddle River have the option of attending either Ramsey High School or Northern Highlands Regional High School as part of sending/receiving relationships with each of the respective districts.[2]
For the 1995-96 school year, Eric S. Smith Middle School was named a "Star School" by the New Jersey Department of Education, the highest honor that a New Jersey school can achieve.[3]

Schools in the district (with 2005–06 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics[4]) are:

- Wesley D. Tisdale Elementary School with 503 students in grades K–3
- Mary A. Hubbard Elementary School with 531 students in grades K–3

[edit] Construction and district reconfiguration
On September 30, 2003, residents of Ramsey passed a referendum providing for the construction of a new Dater School, the construction of a new, six-lane track at the High School, and the renovation of the High School, Smith School, and Hubbard School. Because much more construction had to still be finished (or even started), the 2006-2007 school year has begun on September 18, 2006.
- Ramsey High School's Track is now a six-lane, all-weather track and was completed in Fall/Winter 2004 after delays.
- Ramsey High School will be renovating and adding classrooms. Construction was supposed to take place over the 2005-2006 school year and to be completed around July 2006, but this work was pushed back a year and is now expected to begin at the end of the 2005-2006 school year.
- Eric S. Smith Middle School is reconfiguring and expanding its media center, cafeteria, and gymnasium, and creating new classrooms.
- Mary A. Hubbard School will be converted into a building suitable for grades K-3, which actually is a partial return to its roots as a K-5 school. Some new rooms will be built, and others will be renovated.
- The Wesley D. Tisdale School is not included in any construction or renovation projects.
