Summary:
The city of Williamstown, New Jersey is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. All but one of the schools are part of the Monroe Township Public School District, while Collings Lakes Elementary School is part of the Buena Regional School District.
Among the standout schools in Williamstown are Radix Elementary, which has consistently performed well and ranks in the top 50% of New Jersey elementary schools, and Oak Knoll Elementary School, which performs above the state average in many areas, particularly in 3rd-grade English Language Arts. However, Williamstown High School struggles with Algebra I, with only 12.9% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 39.7%.
The schools in Williamstown show a wide range of performance, with some schools like Radix and Oak Knoll performing well above the state average, while others like Williamstown Middle and High School struggle. Chronic absenteeism is a concern across all the schools, and the free and reduced lunch rates seem to be a strong predictor of academic performance, with the schools with higher rates generally performing worse. Interestingly, the data does not show a clear relationship between spending per student and academic performance, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be at play.
