As of the 2011-12 school year, the district's two schools had an enrollment of 803 students and 69.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.64:1.[1]

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.[3]

For ninth through twelfth grades, Woodcliff Lake public school students attend Pascack Hills High School, along with those from Montvale. The school is part of the Pascack Valley Regional High School District, which serves students from Hillsdale and River Vale at Pascack Valley High School.[4] 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.
