Summary:

The city of Williamstown, New Jersey is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Monroe Township Public School District, except for Collings Lakes Elementary School which is part of the Buena Regional School District.

Among the standout schools, Williamstown Middle School has the highest enrollment with 1,744 students and the highest proficiency rates in NJSLA/Algebra I for 8th grade at 95.2%. Radix Elementary has the highest proficiency rates in NJSLA/Mathematics for 3rd and 4th grade, while Whitehall Elementary School has the highest proficiency rates in NJSLA/Mathematics for 4th grade.

The data reveals a significant disparity in academic performance between the high school/middle school and the elementary schools, with the elementary schools generally outperforming the higher-grade schools on NJSLA tests. Additionally, all schools in the area have a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%, which is higher than the state average, an issue the district should address. The data also shows that per-student spending does not necessarily correlate with academic outcomes, as Collings Lakes Elementary, which has the highest per-student spending, also has some of the lowest test scores.
