Summary:
Monroe Township School District has eight schools in Monroe Township: six elementary schools, one middle school and one high school, serving students from elementary through high school. The clearest districtwide takeaway is that elementary results are usually above state results, but school-to-school differences can be large: 26 of 27 available 2025–26 elementary grade-and-subject results exceeded the state, while grade 3 math ranged from 48% at Mill Lake to 80% at Oak Tree Elementary School—a 32-point gap.
Applegarth Elementary School led the schools serving grades 4–5 in ELA and math in both grades, and in grade 5 science. Its advantages over the lowest-scoring school in each comparison ranged from 12 points in grade 5 ELA to 21 points in grade 5 math. Oak Tree led grade 3 in both subjects; compared with Mill Lake, it scored 18 points higher in ELA and 32 points higher in math. Brookside Elementary School was above state results in all reported grades 3–5 tests, though it trailed Applegarth in shared grades 4–5 subjects. The middle school was above state results in all reported grade 6–8 ELA and math tests. At the high school, results varied by test: grade 9 Algebra I was 32% proficient, compared with 84% in grade 9 Algebra II.
Elementary ELA’s average advantage over state results widened by 4 points from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while math’s narrowed by 2 points. Middle-school results moved down year over year on average: 2 points in ELA and 4 points in math. SchoolDigger ranks Oak Tree 119th of 1,331 schools statewide and Monroe Township Middle School 89th of 743. As context, the reported low-income measure is free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–25: 6% at Applegarth versus 17% at Woodland School; their student-teacher ratios were 12.2 and 9.9, respectively. These measures describe the schools but do not explain their results. Barclay Brook School has no test-score entries.
