Summary

Robert Morris School No. 18 is an elementary school located in Elizabeth, New Jersey, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 508 students. The school is part of the Elizabeth Public Schools district, which is ranked 494 out of 609 districts in New Jersey and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Robert Morris School No. 18 has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Jersey elementary schools, with low proficiency rates on NJSLA assessments, particularly in Mathematics and Science. The school's performance is below the district and state averages, and it has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism. However, the school's performance for English Language Learners is relatively strong, suggesting that there may be effective strategies in place for supporting this student population.

Nearby schools within the Elizabeth Public Schools district, such as Madison Monroe School No. 16, Joseph Battin School No 4, and Toussaint L'Ouverture-Marquis de Lafayette School No. 6, also perform poorly on academic assessments and have similar demographic profiles. However, some nearby schools, such as Dr. Albert Einstein Academy School No. 29 and Chessie Dentley Roberts Academy School No. 30, have significantly higher academic performance, suggesting that there may be opportunities for improvement within the district.
