Summary

Frelinghuysen Township Elementary School in Newton, NJ, serves pre-K through grade 6 and enrolls 121 students; it is the smallest of the 11 nearby schools listed. Its clearest academic concern is math and science: in 2025–26, average math proficiency across grades 3–6 was 43%, 2 points below New Jersey’s average, while grade 5 science proficiency was 18%, 10 points below the state average.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject overall: its grades 3–6 average was 57%, 7 points above the state’s 49%. Math results, however, vary sharply by grade. Fourth-grade math proficiency was 67%, 20 points above the state and 29 points above the nearby-school average; fifth- and sixth-grade results were 29% and 31%, below state averages and the lowest among the nearby schools with reported results in those grades. Grade 5 science was also below all five nearby schools with reported results. The school’s reported test scores match those of the Frelinghuysen Township School District in every supplied grade and subject, so the school–district gap is 0 percentage points.

Results have weakened in some areas: the ELA average fell from 67% in 2024–25 to 57% in 2025–26, and its advantage over the state narrowed from 16 points to 7. Grade 5 science fell 22 points from 2022–23 to 2025–26. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 51st percentile with 3 stars in 2025–26, fifth among 10 nearby schools with rankings; it had been at the 65th percentile the prior year and 67th in 2023–24. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for Male Students was at the 19th percentile, compared with 51st overall; for White Students, it was at the 32nd percentile. These rankings describe how the school serves each group relative to the same group at other schools.
