Hamilton Township School District

The Hamilton Township School District in New Jersey consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools and 1 middle school. Based on the available data, none of the schools in this district stand out as high-performing, as they all have relatively low state-wide rankings and 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger, indicating they are performing well below average compared to other schools in the state.

The schools range in size from 582 students at Joseph C Shaner Memorial Elementary School to 1,363 students at George L. Hess Educational Complex. All three schools have diverse student populations, with a mix of white, African American, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, and multi-racial students. However, they all struggle with low academic achievement, with proficiency rates ranging from 28.5% to 39% in English Language Arts and 4% to 34.3% in Mathematics, significantly below the state averages.

Additionally, the schools in the Hamilton Township School District face other challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates (22.9% to 30.8%) and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (41.92% to 52.82%). The per-student spending at these schools, ranging from $8,975 to $10,454, is also below the state average, which may be a contributing factor to their overall underperformance. Addressing these systemic issues will be crucial for the district to improve the quality of education for its students.
