Summary:
The 07926 zip code is home to two exceptional schools, Mendham Township Elementary School and Mendham Township Middle School, both part of the highly-ranked Mendham Township School District. These schools consistently perform at the top of their respective rankings, with Mendham Township Elementary School ranking 38th out of 1,338 New Jersey elementary schools and Mendham Township Middle School ranking 3rd out of 743 New Jersey middle schools in the 2023-2024 school year.
Academically, both schools excel, with students significantly outperforming the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Mendham Township Elementary School students have proficiency rates ranging from 74.8% to 87.4%, while Mendham Township Middle School students achieve proficiency rates from 86.4% to 100% across grades 5-8. The middle school also boasts a 100% proficiency rate in Algebra I, both for the end-of-course exam and for 8th-grade students.
The schools' success is further reflected in their resource allocation, with high per-student spending of $18,225 at the elementary school and $18,518 at the middle school, as well as low student-teacher ratios of 10.3 and 7.9, respectively. These factors likely contribute to the schools' ability to provide a high-quality, individualized education to their students. However, the low percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, 0.66% at the elementary school and 1% at the middle school, suggest that these schools serve a relatively affluent student population, raising questions about equity and access to high-performing schools for students from lower-income backgrounds in the area.
