Summary:

The Freehold Township School District in New Jersey operates 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and no high schools or alternative schools, serving grades pre-K through 8. The district as a whole is ranked 173 out of 609 school districts in the state and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out for their strong performance. Dwight D. Eisenhower School, a middle school, consistently ranks among the top 25% of middle schools in New Jersey. West Freehold School and Marshall W. Errickson School, both elementary schools, also perform very well, ranking in the top 25-30% of New Jersey elementary schools. All three of these standout schools have a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the district overall performs well, with most schools ranking in the top 30-40% of their respective grade levels in the state, there is some variability in student outcomes. The district has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9%, which may be an area for improvement. Additionally, per-student spending ranges widely, from $9,688 to $21,748, with the Early Childhood Learning Center having the highest per-student spending, likely due to the specialized nature of early childhood education and the needs of its student population.
