Best Public Schools in Zip Code 08562

Summary:

The 08562 zip code area is home to two elementary schools: Clarence B. Lamb Elementary School and New Hanover Township School. Both schools have seen a decline in their statewide rankings over the past three years, indicating potential areas for improvement. Chronic absenteeism rates are high at 16.6% for both schools, which could be a concern and impact student learning.

Clarence B. Lamb Elementary School performs slightly below the district and state averages in 3rd-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, while New Hanover Township School performs significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The free and reduced-price lunch rate is higher at New Hanover Township School, suggesting a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Interestingly, New Hanover Township School spends significantly more per student ($20,216) compared to Clarence B. Lamb Elementary School ($11,042), but the school's performance does not seem to reflect this higher investment. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving educational outcomes in this area.
