Summary:
The 08234 zip code of Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. These schools serve a diverse student population and vary in their academic performance, with some standout institutions leading the way.
The two middle schools, Fernwood Avenue Middle School and Alder Avenue Middle School, are the clear standouts in the area, with impressive proficiency rates on the NJSLA tests, particularly in Algebra I and Geometry. In contrast, Egg Harbor Township High School has a relatively high graduation rate but lags behind the state average in NJSLA performance.
The data also reveals that the schools in the 08234 zip code serve a student population with a significant proportion of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. This disparity in socioeconomic status may contribute to the differences in academic performance observed across the schools. By identifying these trends and focusing on the strategies employed by the higher-performing middle schools, the Egg Harbor Township School District and the Principle Academy Charter School can work to enhance educational outcomes for all students in the community.
