Summary:
The 08620 zip code area in Hamilton Township, New Jersey is home to three elementary schools that are part of the Hamilton Township Public School District. While the district as a whole is ranked 475 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, the individual schools within the district show notable differences in academic performance and other key metrics.
Yardville Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school in the area, ranking 484 out of 1,338 New Jersey elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, while also maintaining a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, Sunnybrae Elementary School and Yardville Heights Elementary School have more mixed academic performance, with some grade levels exceeding the district and state averages, while others fall behind.
The data also reveals differences in student demographics and resource allocation among the three schools. Sunnybrae Elementary School and Yardville Heights Elementary School serve a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by their higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the schools vary in their per-student spending and student-teacher ratios, suggesting that resources may not be evenly distributed within the district. These factors may contribute to the observed differences in academic performance and highlight the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure equitable access to educational resources and support for all students in the 08620 zip code area.
