Summary:
The 08081 zip code area is home to 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, spanning across 4 different school districts. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and low-performing schools in the area, with significant disparities in academic achievement.
The standout schools in the area are Camden County Technical School-GTC, a high school that consistently ranks in the top 50% of New Jersey high schools, and Union Valley Elementary School, which has shown consistent improvement in its state ranking over the past 3 years. These schools boast high graduation rates, low dropout rates, and significantly higher test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to their respective district and state averages.
In contrast, many of the other schools in the 08081 zip code, particularly the Winslow Township elementary schools, have test scores that are below the state and district averages, especially in Mathematics. This disparity in academic performance appears to be correlated with the schools' socioeconomic status, as indicated by the higher rates of free/reduced lunch recipients in the lower-performing schools. The data also suggests that the quality of the school district plays a significant role in the academic outcomes of the students, with the schools belonging to the higher-ranked Camden County Technical School District and Gloucester Township Public Schools generally performing better than those in the lower-ranked Winslow Township School District.
