This school has consistently demonstrated excellence, ranking in the top 7% of all elementary schools in New Jersey and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mount Tabor Elementary School's academic performance is exceptional, with students significantly outperforming state and district averages on standardized tests in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
