Summary:
The city of Woodbury, New Jersey is home to 5 schools, including 4 Woodbury City Public School District elementary schools and 1 junior-senior high school. The data reveals significant performance gaps between the schools in the district and the state averages, particularly in math. However, some schools stand out, such as Walnut Street School, which has the highest performance on standardized tests compared to the other schools in the district.
The Green-Fields Elementary School also had the highest overall performance among the elementary schools, with 41.2% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 46.8% proficient or better in Math. In contrast, the Woodbury Junior-Senior High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 359 out of 422 in 2022-2023 to 361 out of 434 in 2024-2025.
The data also reveals significant socioeconomic disparities within the district, with the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch ranging from 29.69% at Green-Fields Elementary to 65.84% at West End Memorial Elementary. This suggests that the district may need to focus on addressing these inequities and improving overall academic performance, particularly in math, to provide a more equitable and high-quality education for all students.
