Summary:
Newfield, New Jersey, has one listed school, Main Road School, an elementary school serving grades 3–4 with 345 students. In 2025–26, its average proficiency was 49% in ELA, above the state’s 47%, and 46% in math, below the state’s 48%. The most important takeaway is that ELA is a relative strength, but math results—especially in grade 3—need attention.
Main Road School had its strongest latest result in grade 3 ELA, with 52% proficient, 4 points above the state; its weakest was grade 3 math, at 43%, 6 points below. Grade 4 results were more favorable against the state: ELA was 47% versus 46%, and math was 49% versus 47%. The school’s four grade-subject results spanned 9 points. It was also only narrowly above the Township of Franklin School District in all four comparisons, by 0.3–0.4 points.
Results improved in ELA overall from 2024–25 to 2025–26: the school’s average rose 4 points, while the state’s fell 2, moving the school from 4 points below to 2 above. Math was essentially flat overall, and grade 3 math fell 7 points while grade 4 math rose 6, so the changes were not consistent across grades. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking rose from 862nd of 1,338 schools (36th percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–24 to 669th of 1,331 (50th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–26. For context, the school’s student-teacher ratio was 11 in 2024–25, 32% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, and chronic absenteeism was 12%, below the district’s 14% and state’s 14%. With just one local school, there is no school-to-school comparison.
