Best Public Schools in Hamilton, NJ


Summary:

The city of Hamilton, New Jersey is home to 27 schools serving students from elementary through high school, primarily under the Hamilton Township Public School District. While the district as a whole is ranked 475 out of 613 districts in New Jersey, there are several standout schools that outperform the district and state averages on key metrics.

The Pace Charter School of Hamilton is a particularly strong performer, with 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger and high proficiency rates in English Language Arts. Several elementary schools, including Alexander Elementary School, Langtree Elementary School, Yardville Elementary School, and Morgan Elementary School, also demonstrate higher academic performance compared to the district and state averages.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities, with some schools, particularly the middle and high schools, struggling with lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. The Mercer High School stands out for its high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, likely due to its focus on serving students with special needs. Overall, the Hamilton Township Public School District faces challenges in addressing performance gaps and ensuring consistent quality across all its schools.
