East Greenwich Township School District

The East Greenwich Township School District is home to two high-performing elementary schools, Samuel Mickle School and Jeffrey Clark School, which serve students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. Both schools demonstrate strong academic achievement, with Samuel Mickle School ranking in the top 26% of New Jersey elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Samuel Mickle School stands out, with 70-78% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 49.7-66.1% proficient or better in mathematics across grades 3-6. The school also boasts a 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 42%, significantly higher than the state average. Meanwhile, Jeffrey Clark School has a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 2%, indicating strong student engagement.

Both schools serve relatively affluent communities, with low free and reduced lunch rates of 6.47% and 5.4%, respectively. They also benefit from high per-student spending and small class sizes, with student-teacher ratios of 11.7 and 11.8. However, the schools' student populations are predominantly white, with low percentages of minority students, which may suggest a lack of diversity that could be further explored.
