Summary:
The 08318 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Pittsgrove Township School District except for the Daretown School, which is part of the Salem County Special Services School District.
Among the schools, Creativity CoLaboratory Charter School stands out as the highest performing, consistently ranking in the top half of New Jersey middle schools and outperforming the district and state averages on test scores, particularly in math. In contrast, Arthur P. Schalick High School has a relatively high graduation rate but lags behind state averages in test scores. Overall, the Pittsgrove Township School District as a whole is ranked 444 out of 613 districts in New Jersey and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating underperformance compared to the state.
The data also reveals significant variation in school types, funding, and student outcomes across the 08318 zip code area. While the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% is a concern, the range of free/reduced lunch rates, from 20.42% at Creativity CoLaboratory Charter School to 40.62% at Daretown School, suggests varying levels of economic disadvantage among the student populations. Additionally, the wide disparity in per-student spending, from $7,472 at Elmer Elementary to $43,938 at Daretown School, highlights the differences in resources available to these schools.
