Summary:
The 07057 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools and 1 high school - that serve students in the Wallington Boro School District. While the schools share some common challenges, such as high rates of economically disadvantaged students, a few standout performers emerge from the data.
Wallington Junior Senior High School has consistently ranked in the top half of New Jersey high schools over the past 3 years, with strong 4-year graduation rates and low dropout rates. The school also outperforms the state average in several subject areas, including 8th grade Algebra I and Geometry. In contrast, the two elementary schools, Frank W. Gavlak Elementary School and Jefferson (Annex) Elementary School, have more varied performance, with Frank W. Gavlak standing out for its exceptional results in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
The data also reveals significant disparities in per-student spending across the schools, which may contribute to the differing levels of academic achievement. Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, ranging from 32% to 38%, suggest a substantial population of economically disadvantaged students in the area, a factor that likely requires targeted support and resources to ensure equitable opportunities for all learners.
