The Berkeley Township School District in New Jersey is home to three elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 4th grade. While the district as a whole is underperforming compared to the state, there are notable differences in the performance and characteristics of the individual schools.
The standout school in the district is H & M Potter School, which has the highest test scores across both 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the other two schools and the district/state averages.
