Summary:
The 07512 zip code area is home to two schools - Washington Park School, a middle school, and Memorial School, an elementary school. While both schools serve the same community, their academic performance and outcomes vary significantly.
Washington Park School consistently outperforms its counterpart, ranking in the top 40% of New Jersey middle schools on the SchoolDigger rankings over the past three years. Its students demonstrate higher proficiency rates on the NJSLA standardized tests, particularly in English Language Arts, where 64.3% of 4th graders were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 50.8%. In contrast, Memorial School lags behind the state averages, with only 21.6% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA and 29.6% in Math, compared to state averages of 43.6% and 47.6% respectively.
The Totowa Public School District, which both schools belong to, is ranked 426 out of 613 districts in New Jersey and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests the district as a whole may face challenges in providing a high-quality education across its schools. Further investigation into the factors driving the performance disparities between Washington Park School and Memorial School could provide valuable insights to help improve educational outcomes for all students in the 07512 zip code area.
