Best Public Schools in Westville, NJ

Summary:

The city of Westville, New Jersey is home to two elementary schools: Shady Lane Elementary School and Parkview Elementary School. While both schools serve students in grades K-5, they exhibit notable differences in their academic performance and student demographics.

Shady Lane Elementary School stands out with a higher overall state ranking, better proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to Parkview Elementary School.
