Nixon Elementary School up 143 spots statewide this year
Summary:

Landing has one listed school, Nixon Elementary School, which serves kindergarten through grade 4 in the Roxbury Township School District. The supplied test results cover grades 3 and 4 in 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. Nixon’s latest results show a clear contrast: grade 4 math is above state and district results, while ELA is below the state in both tested grades.

Within Nixon, grade 4 math is the strongest latest result: 50% of students were proficient, about 8 percentage points above the district and 3 above the state. Grade 3 ELA is the weakest compared with the district: about 40% were proficient, 13 points below the district and 9 below the state. Grade 4 ELA was also about 40% proficient, 4 points below the district and 7 below the state; grade 3 math was 45%, 4 points below both the district and state. Because Landing has only one listed school, these are standouts within Nixon, not rankings among local schools.

Results improved overall, but the gains were uneven: grade 4 math rose 18 percentage points from 32% to 50%, while grade 3 math fell 4 points from 49% to 45%. Across all four subject-and-grade results, Nixon’s average moved from 9 points below the state in 2024–2025 to 4 points below in 2025–2026, largely reflecting the grade 4 math jump. SchoolDigger gave Nixon 2 stars in each of the three reported years; its percentile ranking went from 42nd to 31st, then rebounded to 41st in 2025–2026. For additional context, 37% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, enrollment was 261, and the student-teacher ratio was 9.8. The available data cannot establish comparisons with similar schools or explain what drove test results.
