Best Public Schools in Zip Code 08554

Summary:

The 08554 zip code area is home to two elementary schools: Roebling Elementary School, a public school, and Riverbank Charter School of Excellence, a public charter school. While both serve the local community, the data reveals a stark contrast in their academic performance and school quality.

Riverbank Charter School of Excellence stands out as the top-performing school in the area, consistently ranking among the top 145 elementary schools in New Jersey and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Roebling Elementary School has ranked in the bottom quarter of New Jersey elementary schools and holds a 1-star rating. This performance gap is evident in the schools' test scores, with Riverbank Charter School of Excellence significantly outpacing Roebling Elementary School and the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.

The differences between the two schools extend beyond academic performance. Riverbank Charter School of Excellence has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, spends more per student, and maintains a lower student-teacher ratio compared to Roebling Elementary School. These factors may contribute to the stark performance gap observed between the two institutions within the Florence Township School District.
