Washington Township School District

Summary:

The Washington Township School District in New Jersey operates 11 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school, serving students from early childhood through 12th grade. The district's performance varies significantly, with some standout schools like Whitman Elementary and Hurffville Elementary ranking among the top in the state, while others struggle, particularly in mathematics.

Whitman Elementary and Hurffville Elementary are the district's highest-performing schools, earning 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger and ranking 276th and 370th out of 1,338 elementary schools in New Jersey, respectively. These schools boast strong test scores, with over 65% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts. In contrast, Thomas Jefferson Elementary and Wedgwood Elementary struggle, particularly in mathematics.

Across the district, there are areas of concern, such as the high 14.9% chronic absenteeism rate and poor performance on Algebra I and Geometry assessments. Additionally, the significant variation in per-student spending, ranging from $9,904 at Hurffville Elementary to $13,287 at Orchard Valley Middle School, suggests the need for more equitable resource allocation across the district. Overall, the Washington Township School District has room for improvement to ensure consistent quality and outcomes for all students.
