Best Elementary Schools in New Jersey for African American Students
Check out our new feature available only on SchoolDigger: rankings for different groups of students in New Jersey!
Every year, the New Jersey Department of Education shares test results for various student groups in each school. We use these results to find out which schools do best for each group and list them from the best to the worst.
Additionally, we also compare the performance of the subgroup to the performance of the school as a whole. This makes it easy to see if, for example, African American students are overperforming or underperforming their peers in each school.
JUST IN!
New Jersey NJSLA test scores and updated rankings for the 2022-23 school year were posted to SchoolDigger TODAY!
Year after year, SchoolDigger is
always
the first to publish New Jersey test scores and rankings. Other sites use stale test score data that are several years old! Be in the know with the very latest performance metrics.
