Summary:
The city of Wallington, New Jersey is home to three schools: two elementary schools (Frank W. Gavlak Elementary School and Jefferson (Annex) Elementary School) and one junior/senior high school (Wallington Junior Senior High School). These schools are part of the Wallington Boro School District and serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
Wallington Junior Senior High School stands out as a consistent performer, ranking in the top half of New Jersey high schools over the past three years. The school boasts a high 91.3% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.0% dropout rate, outpacing state averages. Additionally, the school's students excel in several academic areas, including 7th grade ELA and Math, as well as 11th grade ELA, where they outperform the state average.
At the elementary level, Frank W. Gavlak Elementary School has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and demonstrates strong performance, with proficiency rates in ELA and Mathematics exceeding state averages. Similarly, Jefferson (Annex) Elementary School also outperforms the state in several academic areas. However, all three schools in Wallington serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, as evidenced by their relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, which may present unique challenges for the district.
