Fairfield Township School has consistently ranked in the bottom 5-10% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fairfield Township School also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 21.9% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.
