Summary

Yardville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Hamilton, New Jersey, with 329 students enrolled. This school stands out as a high-performing institution within the Hamilton Township Public School District, consistently outperforming the district and the state of New Jersey in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects.

In the 2024-2025 school year, Yardville Elementary School had 60% of 3rd graders, 80.4% of 4th graders, and 79% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district's 35.1%, 42.9%, and 41.8%, respectively, and the state's 44.9%, 53.6%, and 52.7%. In mathematics, the school's proficiency rates were also significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, the school's low socioeconomic status students ranked 256 out of 948 New Jersey elementary schools in the 2018-2019 school year, suggesting room for improvement in supporting this subgroup.

While Yardville Elementary School outperforms nearby schools in the Hamilton Township Public School District, it lags behind the Chesterfield Township Elementary School, which is in a different district, in several academic metrics. Additionally, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 3.1% in the 2023-2024 school year to 19.1% in the 2022-2023 school year, which warrants further investigation and action.
