Elementary Schools in Edison Township School District

The Edison Township School District in New Jersey is home to 13 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The district's schools vary significantly in size, with student populations ranging from 72 to 948. While some schools, such as Woodbrook Elementary School and Martin Luther King Elementary School, consistently rank among the top elementary schools in New Jersey, others struggle to meet academic standards.

The top-performing schools in the district excel in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with over 70% of students proficient or better on state assessments. In contrast, schools like Benjamin Franklin Elementary School and Lindeneau Elementary School have significantly lower proficiency rates, well below the district and state averages. This performance gap suggests a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement, as the schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower test scores.

The Edison Township School District as a whole is ranked 198 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating average performance compared to other districts in the state. The district's commitment to early childhood education is evident in the higher per-student spending at the two schools serving pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students, Franklin D Roosevelt School and Edison Early Learning Center.
