Summary:

The Freehold Township School District in New Jersey is home to 6 high-performing elementary schools that serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools consistently outperform state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with the West Freehold School standing out as the top-performing elementary school in the district.

The West Freehold School has been consistently ranked among the top 25% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past 3 years, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels, and it has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (14.9%) among the elementary schools. Additionally, the C. Richard Applegate School excels in Mathematics proficiency, with 81.4% of 3rd graders and 67.1% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better in 2024-2025.

While the district as a whole performs well above the state average, there is notable variation in the performance of individual schools within the Freehold Township School District. The schools with higher free and reduced-price lunch rates tend to have lower proficiency rates, suggesting potential equity challenges. However, the district's overall strong performance indicates a commitment to supporting all students, regardless of their socioeconomic status.
