The children were taken to Wyckoff Medical Center to get checked out.
Two older children were seen firing the Taser at the fence, but fled on foot after the incident.
Police said a 15-year-old juvenile was later taken into custody.
"The safety of our students is paramount and school safety immediately responded to an incident during recess," said an official with the education department. "We are assisting the NYPD with an investigation, and out of an abundance of caution the involved young people were transported to a local hospital with no injuries."
