Summary:
The Hillsborough Township Public School District in New Jersey is home to 6 high-performing elementary schools that serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools have consistently strong academic outcomes, with several standout institutions leading the way.
Hillsborough Township Elementary School is the top-ranked school in the district, earning a statewide ranking of 91st out of 1,342 New Jersey elementary schools in 2022-2023 and 106th out of 1,338 in 2023-2024. It boasts the highest percentage of students proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels and years reported. Woods Road Elementary School is another standout, ranking 79th out of 1,338 New Jersey elementary schools in 2023-2024 and having the highest percentage of 4th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics at 88.1%. Triangle Elementary School also impresses with its low student-teacher ratio of 8.5 and strong test scores, with over 70% of students proficient or better in both subject areas.
While the district as a whole is performing well, with all 6 elementary schools ranking in the top 361 out of 1,347 New Jersey elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, there is a significant gap in test scores between the top-performing and lower-performing schools. The schools with the lowest free/reduced lunch rates, such as Woods Road Elementary and Amsterdam Elementary, tend to have the highest test scores, suggesting a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance. Additionally, the consistent 14.9% chronic absenteeism rate across all 6 schools is an area of concern that the district may want to investigate and address.
