Summary:

The city of Willingboro, New Jersey is home to 6 elementary schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools are part of the Willingboro Public School District and the Benjamin Banneker Preparatory Charter School district.

Among the Willingboro elementary schools, Hawthorne Park Elementary School stands out, ranking 1075 out of 1347 New Jersey elementary schools in 2024-2025 and having the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to other Willingboro schools. In contrast, Benjamin Banneker Preparatory Charter School performs well in ELA but struggles in Mathematics, despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.3.

The Willingboro elementary schools face several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates across the district, ranging from 29.7% free and reduced lunch at J.C. Stuart ECDC to 59.27% at Twin Hills Elementary. Additionally, there are significant performance gaps between the Willingboro schools and the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, suggesting a need to address educational equity and resource allocation within the district.
