Summary

Tewksbury Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Califon, New Jersey, with 260 students. It is part of the Tewksbury Township School District, which is ranked 142 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tewksbury Elementary School consistently outperforms the state average on NJSLA English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments across grades 3-5. For example, in 2024-2025, 56.4% of 3rd graders and 61.7% of 4th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 44.9% and 53.6% respectively. In math, 54.8% of 3rd graders and 63.8% of 4th graders were proficient, compared to 49.8% and 46.7% statewide. The school also performs particularly well for its male and special education student populations, ranking in the top 40% of NJ elementary schools for both groups in ELA and math.

While Tewksbury Elementary School maintains relatively low chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, the school serves a more affluent student population, with only 1.62% to 2.69% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests the school may not be serving a socioeconomically diverse student population, which could indicate potential equity concerns that the Tewksbury Township School District may want to further investigate. Addressing chronic absenteeism could also be an area of focus for the school.
