NJ's best elementary school has lessons for all of us | Opinion

This year, School No. 28 in Paterson earned impressive recognition in U.S. News & World Report ’s 2026–2027 rankings, named the No. 1 public elementary school and No. 2 public middle school in New Jersey. This outstanding achievement reflects the talent, dedication, and hard work of Principal Nancy Castro, the school’s teachers, administrators, educational support professionals, students and families. It is a milestone worth celebrating across the Paterson community and our state. But beyond the rankings and well-deserved applause, there is a larger story worth telling about the children of Paterson. For far too long, conversations about urban education have centered on what our communities lack rather than the extraordinary potential that exists within them. Those challenges cannot and should not be ignored, but neither should they define the limits of what we believe our children can accomplish. Academic excellence does not belong exclusively to affluent communities, prestigious institutions, or particular ZIP codes. Talent exists everywhere. What differs too often is access to opportunity, encouragement, resources and support. School No. 28 has reminded us that Paterson's children are brilliant, capable, and deserving of every opportunity to succeed. Op-ed continues after gallery. This achievement should inspire more than a moment of

These extracurriculars can make a college application stand out

It’s no secret that colleges favor students who have gone a step or two beyond their peers when engaging in extracurricular activities. There are certain activities in which vast numbers of college-bound students participate, while others demonstrate a more unique level of skill or commitment. “Anything that thousands of kids are doing is always going to be less helpful for you,” an educational consultant told Today.com . She then ranked activities based on her assessment of their value to top-tier universities, on a scale of 1, the lowest, to 10, the highest. Solving a real-world problem in one’s community ranked 10. Founding a club with a measurable impact ranked 9. Playing the viola also ranked 9, while playing the violin ranked 3. Winning academic competitions ranked 8, as did taking an independent online or college course. More: These NJ high schools have some of the state's highest SAT scores Activities that ranked 7 included serving as editor of one’s high school newspaper, planning prom and participating in internships. Eagle Scouts ranked 6, while student council members, varsity team captains and members of Model UN, DECA and debate teams ranked 5. Tutoring ranked 4, while robotics and founding a club without

TIME names the top colleges in New York

Columbia University and Cornell University ranked among the nation's best colleges in TIME Magazine's Best Colleges rankings, released last month. TIME partnered with data research firm Statista for its inaugural report of America’s Best Colleges of 2026-2027 , which ranked colleges that "excel at student outcomes, learning environment and attractiveness to students," according to the publication. Schools with historically strong STEM programs ranked high on the list, including the top two universities: Stanford University (No. 1), known for its startup culture and connection to Silicon Valley, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (No. 2), a patent powerhouse, according to TIME. New York's highest-ranked university, Columbia University in New York City, is best known for its Core Curriculum and strength in the humanities and social sciences, including its graduate programs in journalism, business, law and international affairs, according to Oriel Admissions. Cornell University in Ithaca is known for its focus on engineering, agriculture and life sciences, as well as hotel administration. Although Cornell, like Columbia, is an Ivy League school, some of its colleges are state-supported contract colleges , which offer lower tuition to New York residents. Other Cornell colleges are endowed and rely on private support, according to the university.
