Summary:

Howell Township Public School District includes 10 public schools: eight elementary schools serving grades K–5 and two middle schools serving grades 6–8. In 2025–2026, elementary results were above state averages in all three ELA grades and grade 5 science, while math results varied by grade; the middle schools were above state averages in ELA but below in grade 6 math and grade 8 science. The biggest contrast is elementary math: grade 4 averaged 8 points above the state, while grade 3 averaged 1 point below, and schools’ grade 4 results spanned 27 points. The key takeaway is that results differ substantially by school and grade, so area-wide averages can hide very different academic experiences.

Ardena Elementary stands out across subjects, leading elementary grade 5 ELA at 69% (18 points above the state), grade 3 math at 63% (14 points above), and grade 5 science at 39% (11 points above). Memorial Elementary leads grade 4 math with 73%, 26 points above the state, and also leads grade 3 math. At the other end, Edith M. Griebling Elementary has the lowest grade 3 ELA and math results among elementary schools: 40% and 36%. Among the middle schools, Howell Township Middle School North leads Howell Township Middle School South in all three ELA grades and grade 6 and 7 math; South leads grade 8 math and Geometry.

Recent changes differ by school level: elementary averages rose 3 points in ELA, were essentially flat in math, and rose 2 points in science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026; middle-school averages fell 8 points in ELA and 7 in math, while grade 8 science was nearly unchanged. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rose for Memorial from 40 in 2023–2024 to 63 in 2025–2026, while Land O’Pines Elementary fell from 70 in 2014–2015 to 44 in 2025–2026. Reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures for 2024–2025 range from 21% at Memorial to 38% at Griebling; Memorial also has the district’s lowest student–teacher ratio, 9.3. These measures offer context, but do not by themselves account for differences in results.
