Pine Hill School District

Pine Hill School District has four schools—two elementary schools, a middle school and a high school—serving 2,016 students across grades 3–12. In 2025–2026, the two elementary schools averaged 35% proficiency in English Language Arts (ELA), compared with 49% statewide, and 21% in math, compared with 47% statewide; Pine Hill Middle School also trailed the state in its grades 6–8 averages for ELA and math. The clearest exception is the middle school’s grade 8 Algebra I result, which was above the state figure.

John H. Glenn School is the elementary standout, leading Dr. Albert M. Bean School in all six tested ELA and math comparisons: its biggest lead was 24 points in grade 3 ELA, while its grade 5 math advantage was just 0.4 points (23.4% versus 23.0%). Glenn’s local lead does not mean it is ahead of the state in every subject: both elementary schools were well below state math results. Pine Hill Middle’s grade 8 Algebra I proficiency was 78.5%, 4 points above the state’s 74.5%, while its regular grade 8 math result was 12%, 11 points below the state. At Overbrook Senior High School, grade 9 Algebra I was a low point: 6% proficient versus 22% statewide.

Recent results are mixed: the elementary schools’ average ELA proficiency rose from 31% to 35% between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, while their math average fell from 25% to 21%; the math gap with the state widened from 22 to 26 points. Bean had the clearest recent declines, including an 18-point drop in grade 5 ELA, while Glenn’s grade 3 ELA rose 35 points. SchoolDigger gives all four schools one star; its school rankings range from the 12th percentile for Bean to the 27th for Glenn, and the district is in the 9th percentile statewide. For context, 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible rates ranged from 69% to 78%; student–teacher ratios ranged from 9.9 at Pine Hill Middle to 13.2 at Overbrook.
