Summary:
The 08618 zip code area is home to 12 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, and 3 high schools, spanning the Ewing Township School District and the Trenton Public School District. While the schools in this area serve a diverse student population, there is a stark contrast in performance and resources between the Ewing Township and Trenton Public School District schools.
Gilmore J Fisher Middle School stands out with the highest student-teacher ratio and per-student spending among the middle schools, as well as the highest proficiency rates in Algebra I. In contrast, Daylight/Twilight High School faces significant challenges, with extremely low proficiency rates, a very low graduation rate, and a high dropout rate, as well as the highest chronic absenteeism rate among all the schools in the area.
The Trenton Stem-to-Civics Charter School stands out as a relatively high-performing school within the Trenton Public School District, with better graduation rates and lower dropout rates compared to the traditional high schools. This suggests the potential benefits of charter school models in addressing the challenges faced by the district. Overall, the data highlights the importance of equitable resource allocation and targeted interventions to support student success across all schools in the 08618 zip code area.
