Best Public Schools in Zip Code 07850

Summary:

The 07850 zip code is home to a single school, Nixon Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 and has a total enrollment of 257 students for the 2022-2023 school year. While Nixon Elementary School has a diverse student population, it has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and rating over the past three years, dropping from 581 out of 1,317 New Jersey elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 893 out of 1,342 in 2022-2023.

Nixon Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in NJSLA English Language Arts and Mathematics, is generally lower than the Roxbury Township School District and the state averages. For example, in 2022-2023, only 34.1% of 3rd-grade students and 36.8% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to district averages of 46.3% and 52.4%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (31.91%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

Despite these challenges, Nixon Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.9 to 1, which is generally considered a positive indicator for student learning and support. However, the school's declining performance and the potential impact of socioeconomic factors on academic achievement suggest that the school and the district may need to explore targeted interventions and strategies to support student success and improve overall school performance.
