Summary:
The 08610 zip code area is home to 10 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, spread across the Hamilton Township Public School District and the Trenton Public School District. While the performance of these schools varies, a few standouts emerge, including the Pace Charter School of Hamilton, which significantly outperforms the district and state averages, and the Robinson Elementary School, which also exceeds the district and state in key metrics.
The data reveals a notable gap in performance between the schools in the Hamilton Township Public School District and the Trenton Public School District. The Trenton schools consistently underperform the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, while the Hamilton Township schools have a more mixed performance, with some schools like Pace Charter and Robinson excelling and others like George E. Wilson Elementary School lagging behind. Additionally, the Albert E Grice Middle School stands out for its strong performance in Algebra I and Geometry compared to the district and state.
Across all schools, the chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% is a concern, indicating a need for targeted interventions to improve student attendance. The wide range of free and reduced lunch rates within the Hamilton Township Public School District also suggests that there may be pockets of economic disadvantage that require additional support and resources. While the higher spending per student at the schools serving more economically disadvantaged populations is a positive sign, the academic performance still lags behind, underscoring the importance of addressing the performance gap and providing tailored solutions to support student success in this diverse zip code area.
