Summary:
The Washington Township School District in New Jersey is home to 7 elementary schools serving students from pre-K through 5th grade. These schools offer a diverse educational experience, with varying levels of academic performance, student demographics, and resource allocation.
The standout school in the district is Whitman Elementary School, which ranks 299 out of 1,342 New Jersey elementary schools and achieves 4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. Whitman excels in English Language Arts and Mathematics test scores, significantly outperforming the district and state averages, and has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in the district at 11.9%. Other high-performing schools include Birches Elementary School, ranked 469 out of 1,342, and Hurffville Elementary School, ranked 431 out of 1,342.
While the district boasts some strong academic performers, there are also areas for improvement. Chronic absenteeism rates vary significantly, from 9.2% at Hurffville Elementary to 30.1% at Grenloch Terrace Early Childhood Center, and test scores show a disparity between the highest-performing school, Whitman Elementary, and the lowest-performing schools, Wedgwood Elementary and Bells Elementary. The district may need to implement targeted interventions and support to address these challenges and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
