Elementary Schools in Randolph Township School District

Summary:

The Randolph Township School District in New Jersey is home to 4 elementary schools that serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and average-performing schools, with Center Grove School and Shongum School standing out as the top-performing institutions in the district.

Center Grove School consistently ranks among the top 20% of New Jersey elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels, and it has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate among the 4 schools. However, Shongum School also stands out, ranking in the top 25% of New Jersey elementary schools and excelling in Mathematics, with 3rd-grade students scoring significantly higher than the district and state averages.
