Pollard Elementary School stands out for its strong 3rd-grade math performance, with 60% of students proficient, higher than the district and state averages.

While the student populations are relatively homogeneous, with predominantly white students, the schools maintain low rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility. Overall, the Plaistow schools in the Timberlane Regional School District demonstrate a mix of strengths and weaknesses, with a need for improvement in key areas like math proficiency to better serve the students of the community.
