Summary:
The city of Williamstown, New Jersey is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Monroe Township Public School District, except for one elementary school that is part of the Buena Regional School District. The data reveals a mix of strong and struggling schools, with Radix Elementary and Whitehall Elementary School standing out as top performers, while other schools in the district, including Williamstown High School, face challenges.
Radix Elementary has the highest statewide ranking among the elementary schools, with a 3-star rating, and the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Whitehall Elementary School, with the lowest student-teacher ratio (9.1) among the elementary schools, also demonstrates relatively strong academic performance. In contrast, Williamstown High School, while maintaining a high 4-year graduation rate of 90.7% and a low dropout rate of 2.8%, is only rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
The data also reveals significant disparities in school performance within the Monroe Township Public School District, with some schools, such as Collings Lakes Elementary School, facing unique challenges. Collings Lakes Elementary, the only school in the data set that is not part of the Monroe Township Public School District, stands out with significantly lower statewide rankings, higher chronic absenteeism, and a much higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the school may be facing systemic issues that the other schools in the district do not.
