Summary

Washington Elementary School is a K–5 public school in Edison, New Jersey, with 630 students. Its 2025–2026 results are above New Jersey averages in English language arts (ELA), math and science, but below the Edison Township School District averages in all three. The key takeaway is that state comparisons are favorable, but Washington’s overall results trail its district’s.

Compared with four nearby Edison K–5 schools, Washington is around the group average overall: its ELA and math results are each about 1 percentage point above their averages, and science is about 8 points higher. Fourth grade stands out: students scored 61% in ELA and 64% in math, ranking second and first, respectively, among the five schools. Third grade is the clearest concern: ELA was 47%, 1 point below the state result, and math was 50%, just 1 point above it; Washington ranked lowest among the five schools in both subjects. Across grades 3–5, Washington averaged 55% in ELA and math and 37% in grade 5 science, compared with state averages of 49%, 47% and 27%.

Over time, Washington’s average ELA result slipped from 56% in 2022–2023 to 55% in 2025–2026, while math rose from 50% to 55% and fifth-grade science from 34% to 37%. SchoolDigger places Washington at the 62nd percentile statewide, with 3 stars; among the nearby schools, it ranks in the middle. In 2024–2025, its student-teacher ratio was 13 to 1, and 41% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. Chronic absenteeism that year was 11%, below the district’s 12% and the state’s 14%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for English Language Learner Students was notably higher than the school’s overall ranking: the group was at the 85th percentile, compared with 62nd overall. Its Special Education Students ranking also rose substantially, from the 47th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 73rd in 2025–2026.
