Summary:

The 11 elementary schools in Old Bridge Township School District report test results for grades 3–5; Southwood Elementary School also serves pre-K. Across the district, school averages were above state averages in all seven grade-and-subject comparisons in 2025–2026, though results varied widely from school to school. The clearest finding is that Walter M. Schirra Elementary School led every tested comparison.

Schirra averaged 78% across the seven results, compared with 53% for the other ten schools. At the other end, Southwood had the lowest three-grade averages in ELA (50%) and mathematics (49%); both were close to state averages. Virgil I. Grissom Elementary School had the lowest grade 5 science result, 20%, versus 27% statewide. The strongest results below Schirra differ by subject, so parents comparing schools may want to look at the grade and subject most relevant to their child.

Results changed unevenly: Schirra gained 10 points and Leroy Gordon Cooper Elementary School gained 9 on the seven-measure average, while Southwood fell 11 and Alan B. Shepard Elementary School fell 7. Grade 4 ELA was a districtwide setback: its average dropped from 68% to 49%, with 10 of 11 schools declining. SchoolDigger ranked Schirra 61st of 1,331 schools in 2025–2026, up from 326th of 1,347 the prior year. Context figures do not follow a simple performance pattern: in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible enrollment was 50% at Cooper and 15% at Schirra, while Southwood had a 9.1 student-teacher ratio.
