Best Public Schools in Zip Code 08270


Summary:

The 08270 zip code area is home to two schools - Upper Township Middle School and Woodbine Elementary School. While both serve students in the region, the data analysis reveals a stark contrast in their academic performance and overall quality.

Upper Township Middle School stands out as the stronger performing school, consistently ranking higher among New Jersey middle schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school demonstrates significantly higher proficiency rates on standardized tests compared to Woodbine Elementary School and the state averages. In contrast, Woodbine Elementary struggles with very low proficiency levels across all grade levels and subjects, ranking much lower among elementary schools in the state.

The data also reveals differences in other key metrics, such as chronic absenteeism rates, free/reduced lunch eligibility, and spending per student. While Woodbine Elementary spends significantly more per student, this higher funding does not appear to translate into better academic outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional quality, school leadership, and student/family engagement, may be more influential in driving student achievement. Overall, the analysis highlights the substantial disparities in school quality and student performance within the 08270 zip code area.
