Summary:
The 08520 zip code area is home to 6 schools in the East Windsor Regional School District, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools serve a diverse student population with a significant economically disadvantaged population, as indicated by the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility.
Among the standout schools in the area, Melvin H. Kreps Middle School performs exceptionally well on state assessments, with 66.2% of students proficient or better in Algebra I End of Course, compared to the district average of 27.9% and the state average of 35.1%. Additionally, Perry L. Drew Elementary School outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics for grades 3-5, and has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 11.0%.
However, the data also reveals disparities in academic performance across the schools, with Hightstown High School having relatively low proficiency rates in Algebra I and Geometry compared to the district and state. The differences in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios suggest that the schools may have varying levels of resources and funding available, which could impact their academic performance.
