Summary:
The 08837 zip code area is home to 3 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools serve a diverse student population, their academic performance varies significantly, with the Edison Academy Magnet School standing out as a top-performing institution in the region.
The Edison Academy Magnet School consistently ranks among the top 25 high schools in Middlesex County Vocational and Technical School District, boasting exceptional test scores, a 100% four-year graduation rate, and a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 2.9%. In contrast, the Herbert Hoover Middle School and James Monroe Elementary School have lower test scores and higher absenteeism rates compared to the Edison Township School District and state averages.
The data suggests a correlation between higher spending per student and better school performance, as evidenced by the exceptional results of the Edison Academy Magnet School, which spends $11,783 per student, compared to $7,148 for Herbert Hoover Middle School and $5,983 for James Monroe Elementary School. This raises questions about the allocation of resources and the potential impact of increased funding on student outcomes in the other schools in the area.
