The Woodcliff Lake Public Schools is a community public school district that serves students in Kindergarten through eighth grade from Woodcliff Lake, in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States.

Since Woodcliff Lake does not have its own high school, Woodcliff Lake and Montvale students attend Pascack Hills High School as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Pascack Valley Regional High School District.[3] 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.

As of the 2008-09 school year, the district's two schools had an enrollment of 837 students and 72.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.6.[1]
