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.

This achievement should inspire more than a moment of

MORRIS TOWNSHIP — Dylan Mazzarella called it "a full-circle moment," standing on Delbarton's soccer field and celebrating after defeating Seton Hall Prep, 3-2, in the NJSIAA Non-Public A North final. The Green Wave senior reflected back on four years ago, when the roles were reversed. This is Delbarton's first sectional title since 2018 – also defeating the Pirates, but on penalty kicks. Seton Hall Prep (14-7) had topped the Green Wave in the 2021 and 2023 finals, though the Green Wave has a 13-4-2 all-time lead in NJSIAA Tournament matches. "Freshman year, it was sad to go out on this field to Seton Hall, so it was great to beat them," said Mazzarella, a Parsippany resident. "We took advantage early, and they started getting back into the game. Knowing how we prepared, it got us through." Sophomore Cortland Martin figured into all three Green Wave goals, scoring the first two and taking the free kick that classmate Thine Sohn nodded in. A sophomore defender, Sohn had cleared a ball off the line with about two minutes to go before halftime, then scored the eventual game winner less than five minutes into the second half. Martin has five goals in Delbarton's
