Summary:

The Runnemede Public School District in New Jersey consists of three schools: two elementary schools (Aline Bingham Elementary School and Grade Downing Elementary School) and one middle school (Mary E. Volz Elementary School).

Among the standout schools, Mary E. Volz Elementary School has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 431st out of 748 New Jersey middle schools in 2022-2023 to 400th out of 743 in 2023-2024. The school performs relatively well in English Language Arts, with 61.9% of 7th graders proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 57%. However, the school struggles in mathematics, with only 8.6% of 8th graders proficient or better in 2024-2025, well below the state average of 20.7%. In contrast, Grade Downing Elementary School has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 658th out of 1,342 New Jersey elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 901st out of 1,338 in 2023-2024, despite still outperforming the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd grade students.

Across the district, all three schools have a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average. The schools also vary in their free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 32.19% at Mary E. Volz Elementary School to 40.11% at Aline Bingham Elementary School. Additionally, the spending per student and student-teacher ratios differ significantly across the schools, which may contribute to the differences in academic performance.
