Summary

Lynn Crest Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 289 students in grades PK-5 in Colonia, New Jersey. It is part of the Woodbridge Township School District, which is ranked 400 out of 609 districts in the state.

Lynn Crest Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, with 62.8% of 4th graders proficient or better in ELA compared to 50.8% for the district and 53.6% for the state. In math, 65.9% of 3rd graders were proficient compared to 48.8% for the district and 49.8% for the state. The school's strong academic performance suggests it is effectively serving its student population. However, the school's uneven performance across student subgroups is an area that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions.

Compared to nearby schools, Indiana Avenue Elementary and Pennsylvania Avenue Elementary, Lynn Crest Elementary spends more per student ($6,206 vs. $4,151 and $4,433, respectively) and has a lower student-teacher ratio (9.6 vs. 14.8 and 16.4). These factors may contribute to the school's stronger academic performance. However, the school should continue to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of its resource allocation.
