Summary

Grace N. Rogers Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Hightstown, New Jersey, with 625 students. The school is part of the East Windsor Regional School District, which is ranked 427 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its location, Grace N. Rogers Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the state and its own school district on standardized tests. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math were significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels. For example, in 5th grade ELA, the school's proficiency rate was 33.1% compared to the state's 52.7% and the district's 44.8%. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 16.6% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly above the state average.

Interestingly, the school's performance varies greatly across different student subgroups. While African American students perform relatively well, ranking in the top 25% of schools in the state, Asian and Hispanic students perform poorly, ranking in the bottom 25% of schools. Additionally, the school's proximity to higher-performing schools, such as Perry L. Drew Elementary and Walter C. Black Elementary, suggests that factors beyond just district-level policies and resources may be contributing to Grace N. Rogers Elementary School's underperformance, which has steadily declined over the past several years.
