Summary:
The three schools in Pitman Boro School District serve PK–12: Memorial Elementary School serves PK–1, Pitman Elementary School serves grades 2–6, and Pitman Junior/Senior High School serves grades 7–12. The clearest broad strength in the available 2025–2026 results is ELA: the seven tested grade results averaged 9 percentage points above state results. The most important finding, though, is how uneven performance is across grades, particularly in elementary math.
Pitman Elementary stands out at the top in third-grade math, with 75% proficient versus 49% statewide, a 26-point advantage. But sixth-grade math was 14% versus 40% statewide, a 26-point shortfall. At Pitman Junior/Senior High, eighth-grade Algebra I was a standout at 91% versus 75% statewide, while ninth-grade Algebra I was 8% versus 22%, a 14-point shortfall. High-school ELA results were above state results in all three tested NJSLA grades. Memorial has no supplied test results. Because the schools’ tested grade ranges do not overlap, the data do not support a direct test-score ranking of the schools.
Results changed in different directions by grade: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, elementary third-grade math rose 15 points, while sixth-grade math fell 17 points; high-school ninth-grade ELA rose 18 points, while Algebra I end-of-course results fell 15 points. Across 23 matched results, the average absolute school–state gap widened from 6 to 10 points. SchoolDigger’s percentile rank rose from 48 to 56 for Pitman Elementary; Pitman Junior/Senior High moved from 57 to 56 after a rank of 41 in 2023–2024.
