Summary:
The 08620 zip code area in Hamilton Township, New Jersey is home to three elementary schools that are part of the Hamilton Township Public School District. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and provide a range of educational experiences for the local community.
Among the three schools, Yardville Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing, with the strongest test scores across all grade levels and subjects, the lowest chronic absenteeism rate, and the lowest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, Sunnybrae Elementary School and Yardville Heights Elementary School have more diverse student populations and higher percentages of students from low-income families, which is often associated with lower academic performance. However, these schools show mixed results, with some grade levels performing above the district and state averages.
The data also reveals significant variations in student-teacher ratios, with Yardville Elementary having the highest ratio at 14.3 students per teacher, while Sunnybrae Elementary and Yardville Heights Elementary have lower ratios of 9.5 and 9.6 students per teacher, respectively. This difference in staffing levels may contribute to the disparities in academic achievement across the schools. Additionally, the low science proficiency scores across all three schools suggest a potential area for improvement in the district's curriculum and instruction in this subject area.
