Summary

Ross Street Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Woodbridge, New Jersey, serving 640 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Woodbridge Township School District, which is ranked 400 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

According to the data, Ross Street Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of New Jersey elementary schools, with very low performance on state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 13.8% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 41.7% in the district and 44.9% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities. Additionally, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 12.0% to 20.9% over the past few years.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the Woodbridge Township School District, such as Avenel Street Elementary School, Lafayette Estates Elementary School, and Mawbey Street Elementary School, generally perform better than Ross Street Elementary School on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates on state assessments and higher rankings among New Jersey elementary schools. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to the school's struggles, and addressing the underlying issues may be crucial in improving the school's performance and outcomes.
