Summary

Lawrence Brook Elementary School enrolls 362 students in grades K–4 in East Brunswick, New Jersey. In 2025–2026, its NJSLA proficiency rates were above state results in both tested subjects, but below averages in its district, the East Brunswick Township School District. The most important takeaway is that math, especially in third grade, is the school’s clearest current weakness compared with its district.

ELA is the stronger subject compared with nearby schools, the district, and the state. The school averaged 58% proficiency in ELA, versus 47% statewide and 63% districtwide; in math, it averaged 54%, versus 48% statewide and 66% districtwide. Results were above state levels in all four grade-and-subject comparisons, but below district levels in all four. Third-grade math stands out: 50% at Lawrence Brook compared with 66% districtwide. Locally, Lawrence Brook placed third among 10 schools in third-grade ELA and tied for second among nine in fourth-grade ELA. Its math standing was weaker: fourth of 10 in third grade and third of nine in fourth grade. In third-grade math, it was 19 points below the average at the other two East Brunswick elementary schools, Central Elementary School and Memorial Elementary School.

Results have declined since 2022–2023: the equal-weighted two-grade averages fell 20 points in ELA and 19 points in math, while SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking dropped from the 91st percentile (5 stars) to the 63rd percentile (3 stars). Even so, its current rank is fourth among 10 nearby schools, including Lawrence Brook. Context includes a 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio of 8.7, the lowest among nearby schools reporting a ratio, and 25% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, the second-lowest local rate. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves female students fell from the 83rd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 47th in 2025–2026, below its overall 63rd percentile; its measure for Asian students swung from the 99th to the 53rd percentile between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026.
