Summary:
The 08868 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Franklin Township School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 280 students. The school is part of the Franklin Township School District, which is ranked 240 out of 613 districts in New Jersey and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Franklin Township School appears to be a relatively strong performer compared to the state averages, particularly in certain subject areas and grade levels. The school had significantly higher proficiency rates than the state average in NJSLA/Mathematics for grades 3-7, as well as 100% proficiency in Algebra I for both end-of-course and 8th grade. Additionally, the school's 5th grade NJSLA-S/Science proficiency rate of 55% was well above the state average of 27.5%. However, the school's performance in 4th and 8th grade NJSLA/Mathematics and 8th grade NJSLA-S/Science was below the state average, indicating room for improvement in these areas.
Despite its overall strong performance, Franklin Township School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 374th out of 1,345 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 583rd out of 1,338 in 2023-2024. This suggests the school may be struggling to maintain its performance relative to other schools in the state. Additionally, the school's relatively low free/reduced lunch rate and high spending per student suggest it may serve a more affluent student population, which could contribute to its stronger academic performance in some areas.
