East Amwell Township School District

The East Amwell Township School District has one school in this list: East Amwell Township, serving prekindergarten through eighth grade with 398 students. In 2025–2026, the school’s average proficiency across grades 3–8 was 67% in ELA, compared with 51% statewide, and 56% in math, compared with 40% statewide. The most important takeaway is that results were above state averages in both subjects overall, but eighth-grade math was a notable exception.

Because it is the only listed school, East Amwell Township is both the top and bottom school in this list; there is no school-to-school comparison to make. Within the school, fifth-grade ELA was a high point at 83%, 32 percentage points above the state’s 52%. Algebra I proficiency was 100% in both reported categories, compared with 40% statewide for the end-of-course category and 75% for the eighth-grade category. Eighth-grade math was the clearest weak spot: 16% were proficient, 7 points below the state’s 23%. Science was also above the state in both reported grades: 58% versus 27% in grade 5 and 30% versus 19% in grade 8.

Results declined from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: the six-grade ELA average fell 11 points, from 79% to 67%, and the math average fell 5 points, from 61% to 56%; state averages changed less. The math drop was concentrated in grade 8, where proficiency fell from 41% to 16%, while grades 5 and 6 improved. SchoolDigger ranked the school 192nd of 1,331 schools, in the 86th percentile with four stars, in 2025–2026; it had ranked 258th of 1,338 and in the 81st percentile in 2023–2024. In 2024–2025, chronic absenteeism was 6% at the school versus 14% statewide, and the student–teacher ratio was 9.4. The school reported 16% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. These figures describe one school and do not establish differences among schools in the district.
