William E Sheehan was #4 two years running before slipping to #36, with science falling from 88.64% to 73.08%; it still sits in the 96th percentile and has the smallest classes, at 11.7 students per teacher. Pine Hill Elementary School is the largest school at 473 students, roughly 1.7 times the others, and posts the group's lowest ELA (63.68%) and math (65.96%), still well above state averages, while improving in rank from #132 to #81. Note that free/reduced-lunch data is blank for all four schools, and per-student spending is available for only three schools, and only for 2020–2021.
