Among the standout schools, Edward T. Hamilton and Kresson School have earned the highest rankings in the district, with Edward T. Hamilton ranking 213th out of 1,347 New Jersey elementary schools and Kresson School ranking 201st. These schools have consistently high proficiency rates on NJSLA tests, with Edward T.

While the district as a whole has demonstrated strong academic performance, there are some variations in individual school rankings and test scores. The schools with lower percentages of free and reduced lunch recipients, such as Edward T. Hamilton and Signal Hill School, tend to have higher test scores and rankings, suggesting that socioeconomic factors may play a role in academic achievement. Additionally, the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% is an area that the district may want to focus on to improve overall student outcomes.
