Summary:

Pitman, New Jersey, has three schools serving PK through grade 12: Memorial Elementary School serves PK–1, Pitman Elementary School serves grades 2–6, and Pitman Junior/Senior High School serves grades 7–12. The clearest overall pattern is that ELA results are stronger relative to the state than math: the elementary grades’ average ELA gap is 9 points above the state, compared with 1 point for math, while the high school’s ELA gap is 10 points above the state, compared with 6 points for math. The most important finding is that these averages conceal especially uneven math results by grade.

Pitman Elementary School stands out in third grade, where math proficiency was 75% versus 49% statewide, 26 points higher, and ELA was 63% versus 48%, 14 points higher. Its clearest weak spot is sixth-grade math: 14% proficient compared with 40% statewide, 26 points lower. At Pitman Junior/Senior High School, ELA exceeded the state in each reported grade, by 9 points in seventh, 13 in eighth, and 7 in ninth. Eighth-grade Algebra I was another standout at 91% versus 75%, while ninth-grade Algebra I was 8% versus 22%. Memorial Elementary School has no test results in the supplied data, so its academic results cannot be compared here.

Recent changes are mixed: Pitman Elementary School’s average school-versus-state gap improved by about 5 points across nine comparisons from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, but sixth-grade math fell from 31% to 14% proficient. At Pitman Junior/Senior High School, the average gap improved by about 1 point across 14 comparisons, with ELA gains offset by weaker results in some math and science comparisons. SchoolDigger ranked both schools at the 56th percentile in 2025–2026; its ranking for Memorial was at the 60th percentile in 2018–2019. For 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible was 27% at Pitman Elementary, 23% at the high school, and 25% at Memorial; student-teacher ratios were 13.1, 10.7, and 11.2, respectively. These figures describe school context, not the cause of test results.
