Best Public Schools in Cherry Hill, NJ

Summary:

The Cherry Hill School District in New Jersey consists of 19 schools, including 13 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with several schools ranking among the top in the state.

Two elementary schools, Joseph D. Sharp Elementary School and A. Russell Knight Elementary School, stand out with 5 and 4 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars, respectively. At the middle school level, Rosa International Middle School is a high performer, ranking 162 out of 743 New Jersey middle schools. The top-performing high school in the district is Cherry Hill High School East, which ranks 106 out of 426 New Jersey high schools.

While the district as a whole performs well above the state average, there is significant variation in performance between individual schools. The chronic absenteeism rate across all schools is a concern, and the wide range in free/reduced lunch percentages and spending per student suggests there may be socioeconomic disparities that could be impacting student outcomes. The Alternative High School, with its small enrollment and high spending per student, appears to be serving a unique population with specialized needs.
