While the schools demonstrate relatively consistent performance, with most rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, a few standout institutions emerge.

Melvin H. Kreps Middle School stands out for its strong performance on state assessments, particularly in Algebra I and Geometry, as well as its relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6%. In contrast, Hightstown High School struggles with low proficiency rates in math assessments, with only 5.9% proficient in Algebra I for 10th grade and 13.4% proficient in the end-of-course exam.

The schools in this area face significant socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 33.75% to 39.9%. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support programs to address the needs of these economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% is a concern that should be addressed to ensure consistent student engagement and attendance.
