Many other old buildings are also present, but are likely to have been modified through the years.
Woodcliff Lake has an elementary school and a junior high school. The elementary school has grades PK-5 and the junior high school has grades 6-8. Since Woodcliff Lake does not have its own high schoool, Woodcliff Lake and Montvale students go to Pascack Hills High School as part of the Pascack Valley Regional High School District. Pascack Hills does not have all sports such as hockey and lacrosse. Therefore, students who play those sports play for another nearby school, Pascack Valley High School, also in the same school district.
