Summary:
The Southampton Township School District in New Jersey operates three schools: two elementary schools (grades K-2 and 3-5) and one middle school (grades 6-8). The district's overall performance, as measured by the SchoolDigger rating of 3 out of 5 stars, is slightly below the state average.
Among the standout schools in the district, Southampton Township School #3 (Middle School) has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from #310 in 2022-2023 to #173 in 2024-2025, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are notably higher than the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Algebra I, and it has a favorable learning environment with a 10.8 student-teacher ratio. In contrast, Southampton Township School #2 (Elementary School) has a lower statewide ranking, but its 5th-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates are higher than the district and state averages, and it has a very low student-teacher ratio of 8.1.
The data highlights the performance differences between the middle school and the elementary schools, with the middle school consistently outperforming the elementary schools, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Factors such as resource allocation, student-teacher ratios, and targeted interventions may play a role in the observed academic performance differences. The district also faces a challenge with a consistent 14.9% chronic absenteeism rate across all three schools, which may need to be addressed to improve overall educational quality.
